Shilong Piao,Philippe Ciais,Yao Huang,Zehao Shen,Shushi Peng,Junsheng Li,Liping Zhou,Hongyan Liu,Yuecun Ma,Yihui Ding,Pierre Friedlingstein,Pierre Friedlingstein,Chunzhen Liu,Kun Tan,Yongqiang Yu,Tianyi Zhang,Jingyun Fang +16 more
TL;DR: It is found that notwithstanding the clear warming that has occurred in China in recent decades, current understanding does not allow a clear assessment of the impact of anthropogenic climate change on China’s water resources and agriculture and therefore China's ability to feed its people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Site- and species-specific responses of forest growth to climate across the European continent
Flurin Babst,Benjamin Poulter,Valerie Trouet,Kun Tan,Burkhard Neuwirth,Rob Wilson,Marco Carrer,Michael Grabner,Willy Tegel,Tom Levanič,Momchil Panayotov,Carlo Urbinati,Olivier Bouriaud,Philippe Ciais,David Frank +14 more
TL;DR: To evaluate the climate sensitivity of model-based forest productivity estimates using a continental-scale tree-ring network, a network of about 100,000 trees across the globe is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in vegetation net primary productivity from 1982 to 1999 in China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the trends in China's terrestrial net primary production from 1982 to 1999 and their driving forces using satellite-derived NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), climate data, and a satellite-based carbon model, CASA (Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate and CO2 changes on the vegetation growth and carbon balance of Qinghai-Tibetan grasslands over the past five decades
Shilong Piao,Shilong Piao,Kun Tan,Huijuan Nan,Philippe Ciais,Jingyun Fang,Jingyun Fang,Tao Wang,Nicolas Vuichard,Biao Zhu +9 more
TL;DR: Tan et al. as discussed by the authors investigated climate change and rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration driven spatio-temporal changes in vegetation net primary production and net ecosystem production of Qinghai-Tibetan grasslands from 1961 to 2009.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation patterns alter growth of temperate vegetation
Jingyun Fang,Shilong Piao,Liming Zhou,Jin-Sheng He,Fengying Wei,Ranga B. Myneni,Compton J. Tucker,Kun Tan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used growing season Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of plant growth to quantify the relationships between vegetation production and intra-annual precipitation patterns for three major temperate biomes in China.
