Although the occurrence of aquatic plants in waterbodies has been widely monitored using remote sensing, the influence of climate variables on macrophyte spatiotemporal dynamics is rarely considered in studies developed for medium scales to long periods of time. We hypothesize that the spatial dispersion of macrophytes has its natural rhythms influenced by climate fluctuations, and, as such, its effects on the heterogeneous spatial distribution of this vegetation should be considered in the monitoring of water bodies. A eutrophic reservoir is selected for study, which uses the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a proxy for macrophytes. Landsat\u2019s NDVI long-term time series are constructed and matched with the Climate Variable (CV) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of aquatic plants and their associated climate triggers. The NDVI and CV time series and their seasonal and trend components are correlated for the entire reservoir, compartments, and segmented areas of the water body. Granger-causality of these climate variables show that they contribute to describe and predict the spatial dispersion of macrophytes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14143282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T00:06:21Z","timestamp":1657497981000},"page":"3282","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessing Climate Influence on Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Macrophytes in Eutrophicated Reservoirs by Remotely Sensed Time Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5074-5612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro Fernandes","family":"Coladello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology and Sciences, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Presidente Prudente 19060-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1726-3152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria de Lourdes Bueno","family":"Trindade Galo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology and Sciences, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Presidente Prudente 19060-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6740-7863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milton Hirokazu","family":"Shimabukuro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology and Sciences, S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), Presidente Prudente 19060-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6836-3463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivana","family":"Iv\u00e1nov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS), Curtin University, Perth 6102, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3533-613X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph","family":"Awange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS), Curtin University, Perth 6102, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"503","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolind.2015.07.029","article-title":"Applying remote sensing techniques to monitoring seasonal and interannual changes of aquatic vegetation in Taihu Lake, China","volume":"60","author":"Luo","year":"2016","journal-title":"Ecol.
