Uncovering the spatio-temporal patterns and drivers of 30 years of greening in South UK landscapes.
Article in Landscape ecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Context: Anthropogenic pressures are pushing ecosystems towards collapse by disrupting their structure and functioning. Whilst ecological responses to climate and land cover changes are widely addressed at the global scale, a notable knowledge gap remains at the landscape level-a critical scale for translating science into action Objectives: To evaluate the impacts of anthropogenic pressures on ecosystem functioning at the landscape scale. Specifically, we assess the influence of climate trends and land cover changes on the spatial and temporal patterns of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) over a 30-year period (1995-2024). Methods: Using Sussex (UK) as a study area, we examined spatio-temporal patterns in climate trends and NDVI - used as a proxy for vegetation distribution and productivity-over three decades based on satellite imagery. We characterized the spatial heterogeneity of observed changes and evaluated the role of climate and land cover changes as drivers of long-term NDVI dynamics. Results: We found an overall increase in NDVI across the study area and all land cover types (MK Discussion: These findings show a positive relationship between rising temperatures and vegetation greening, as reflected by NDVI gains with spatially heterogenous patterns associated with land cover changes and hotspots of NDVI change. Our study provides spatially explicit evidence to support effective landscape management strategies and inform policies by demonstrating the interaction between anthropogenic pressures at the landscape level. Because the landscape is a relevant scale at which environmental change and its outcomes are perceived, our results offer insights to address the effects of global and local changes.
