From page 29...
... A similar lack of relationship was found across a broader range of sites. Myers-Smith indicated that these results demonstrate there is complexity that still needs to be disentangled when linking remote sensing and in situ records.

From page 30...
... An outstanding timescale question highlighted by participants was, "what time scales are appropriate for assessing changes in productivity, or for discrimination between longer-term systematic trends versus short-term events? " The use of common protocols as appropriate would also be beneficial, especially as networks expand and greater linkage between remote sensing and fieldbased measurements is encouraged.

From page 31...
... Participants discussed expanding beyond the use of NDVI as a primary metric. This could include better utilization of available multispectral data and other time series datasets that could be integrated with newer technologies, microsatellites, richer datasets, new remote sensing, lidar, and radar instrumentation.
