Previous studies have highlighted the severity of this event, yet the relevance of soil moisture (SM), as well as vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and vegetation damage, remained unclear. Here, we utilized solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and various flux data to monitor the impact of drought on vegetation and analyze the influence of different environmental factors. The results indicated a severe situation of drought and heatwave in the Yangtze River Basin in 2022 that significantly affected vegetation growth and the ecosystem carbon balance. SIF and NDVI have respective advantages in reflecting damage to vegetation under drought and heatwave conditions; SIF is more capable of capturing the weakening of vegetation photosynthesis, while NDVI can more rapidly indicate vegetation damage. Additionally, the correlation of SM and SIF are comparable to that of VPD and SIF. By contrast, the differentiation in the severity of vegetation damage among different types of vegetation is evident; cropland is more vulnerable compared to forest ecosystems and is more severely affected by drought and heatwave. These findings provided important insights for assessing the impact of compound drought and heatwave events on vegetation growth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16162889","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]],"date-time":"2024-08-08T07:01:25Z","timestamp":1723100485000},"page":"2889","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Impacts of Drought and Heatwave on the Vegetation and Ecosystem in the Yangtze River Basin in 2022"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Siyuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruonan","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yumin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Resource and Environmental Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Wuhan Institute of Quantum Technology, Wuhan 430223, China"},{"name":"Perception and Effectiveness Assessment for Carbon-Neutrality Efforts, Engineering Research Center of Ministry of Education, Institute for Carbon Neutrality, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2561-3244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ge","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere, School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Perception and Effectiveness Assessment for Carbon-Neutrality Efforts, Engineering Research Center of Ministry of Education, Institute for Carbon Neutrality, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133627","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2019.133627","article-title":"Impacts of drought and heatwave on the terrestrial ecosystem in China as revealed by satellite solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence","volume":"693","author":"Wang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Sci.
