Forest understory has a vital role in nutrient cycling, soil and water conservation, and carbon sequestration. The seasonal rhythms of the forest understory regulate habitat conditions, resource availability and interactions among plants and animals.
However, the forest understory is largely hidden from satellite observations, limiting effective monitoring of its seasonal growth dynamics. While traditional field surveys can capture local-scale processes with high precision, they are labour-intensive, spatially restricted, and rarely sustained over long periods…
