Dual influence of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the spatiotemporal vegetation dynamics over the Qinghai‐Tibetan plateau from 1981 to 2015
Climate change and human activities have already caused degradation in a large fraction of
vegetation on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Many studies report that climate variability …
