The center of mass of global vegetation moves to the northeast and confirms that the planet is changing its green balance. A team of German and Spanish scientists has developed a pioneering method that allows to follow the global "beat" of the biosphere through satellite observations and advanced models. The finding not only detects a constant movement toward the north, but also towards the east, driven by greening processes in regions such as C…
In the spring, nature is greening up. But it is increasingly doing so in regions that used to be sparse. Human beings are responsible, but not only for the reasons that can be expected.
Global greening: Study shows Earth's green wave is shifting northeast
A team of scientists led by the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ), and Leipzig University has developed a new method to track Earth's greenness—a key indicator of vegetation health and activity—by calculating its center of mass.
Rapid Northeast Shift in Earth’s Seasonal Vegetation Pattern
A study published in PNAS reports a measurable displacement in the position of Earth’s primary zone of seasonal vegetation activity. The shift appears in long satellite records that track where the strongest yearly growth occurs as seasons move between hemispheres. The position of this growth zone is no longer oscillating around its former average. It […] The post Rapid Northeast Shift in Earth’s Seasonal Vegetation Pattern appeared first on Abo…
Global greening: The Earth’s green wave is shifting
24.02.2026 - A team of scientists led by the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), and Leipzig University has developed a new method to track the Earth's greenness - a key indicator of vegetation health and activity - by calculating its centre of mass.
The annual greening of vegetation follows the seasons and therefore takes place in the northern and southern hemispheres. As this "green wave" moves across the globe and as it has changed in recent decades, researchers have now investigated using a new method. This shows that the center of greening continues to [...] The article The "green wave" of the earth shifts first appeared on wissenschaft.de.
