Monitoring and predicting land surface phenology (LSP) are essential for understanding ecosystem dynamics, climate change impacts, and forest and agricultural productivity. Satellite Earth observation (EO) missions have played a crucial role in the advancement of LSP research, enabling global and continuous monitoring of vegetation cycles. This review provides a brief overview of key EO satellite missions, including the advanced very-high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the Landsat program, which have played an important role in capturing LSP dynamics at various spatial and temporal scales. Recent advancements in machine learning techniques have further enhanced LSP prediction capabilities, offering promising approaches for short-term prediction of vegetation phenology and cropland suitability assessment. Data cubes, which organize multidimensional EO data, provide an innovative framework for enhancing LSP analyses by integrating diverse data sources and simplifying data access and processing. This brief review highlights the potential of satellite-based monitoring, machine learning models, and data cube infrastructure for advancing LSP research and provides insights into current trends, challenges, and future directions.
