Abstract Dryland in Xinjiang, China has been threatened in recent decades by rapid climate
change. However, due to large uncertainties in spatial climate datasets, the impacts of …

Abstract Changes in climate have caused impacts on ecosystems on all continents scale,
and climate change is also projected to be a stressor on most ecosystems even at the rate of …

Terrestrial ecosystems are an important part of Earth systems, and they are undergoing
remarkable changes in response to global warming. This study investigates the response of …

The future vegetation–climate system over East Asia, as well as its dependence on
Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), is investigated using a regional climate …

Climate effects of land use change in China as simulated by a regional climate model
(RegCM2) are investigated. The model is nested in one-way mode within a global coupled …

Understanding the response of terrestrial ecosystems to future climate changes would
substantially contribute to the scientific assessment of vegetation–climate interactions. Here …

Using global terrestrial ecosystem observation and proxy data for net primary productivity
(NPP), leaf area index (LAI), and climate data, we compared simulated NPP, LAI, and major …

Quantitatively identifying the relative contributions of climate change and human activity to
net primary productivity (NPP) is critical for understanding vegetation dynamics and …

Understanding how terrestrial ecosystems would respond to future climate change can
substantially contribute to scientific evaluation of the interactions between vegetation and …

We developed a dynamic regional vegetation model to address problems of responses of
regional vegetation to elevated ambient CO2 and climatic change. The model takes into …
