ecosystems, with over 80% of the world's temperate deserts, which has been experiencing …

More than 80% of world's temperate desert locates in Central Asia, dryland that experienced
strong warming and significant changes in precipitation pattern in recent decades. The …

Numerous studies have confirmed that climate change leads to a decrease in the net
ecosystem productivity (NEP) of terrestrial ecosystems and alters regional carbon …

Although the net primary productivity (NPP) of arid/semiarid ecosystem is generally thought
to be controlled by precipitation, other factors like CO2 fertilization effect and temperature …
