TL;DR: Carbon-nitrogen interactions significantly influence the simulated response of carbon cycle to temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration, suggesting that nutrients limitations should be included in the next generation of terrestrial biosphere models.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The strength of the relationship between the interannual variability of growing season NDVI and temperature (partial correlation coefficient RNDVI-GT) declined substantially between 1982 and 2011 and is mainly observed in temperate and arctic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation impacts on vegetation spring phenology on the Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: The impacts of precipitation on SOS in a large cold and arid/semiarid region is highlighted and influences of water should be included in SOS module of terrestrial ecosystem models for drylands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing altitudinal gradient of spring vegetation phenology during the last decade on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated spatio-temporal variations in green-up date on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) from 2000 to 2011, as determined by five methods employing vegetation indices from each of the four sources: three Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), Systeme Pour l’Observation de la Terre (SPOT), MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the Enhanced Vein Index (EVI)
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in satellite‐derived spring vegetation green‐up date and its linkage to climate in China from 1982 to 2010: a multimethod analysis

TL;DR: A multimethod investigation to quantify changes in vegetation green-up date from 1982 to 2010 over temperate China, and to characterize climatic controls on spring phenology showed that change in vegetationGreen- up date is more closely correlated with temperature than with precipitation, implying that precipitation is an important regulator of the response of vegetationSpring phenology to change in temperature.
