Forest Resistance and Resilience to 2002 Drought in Northern China

Drought can weaken forest activity and even lead to mortality, the response of different types drought be diverse. Deciduous broadleaf (DBF) deciduous needleleaf (DNF) are two majority in northern China. In this region, a severe event happened 2002. However, due lack data, spatio-temporal characteristics ecosystem stability here remain unclear. study, we used machine learning approach (model tree ensemble, MTE) drive fluxsite gross primary productivity (GPP), combined with remote sensing-based GPP vegetation index data (EVI), analyze spatial temporal resistance resilience DNF DBF China during after 2002 drought. The results showed that DBFs were more acclimatized drought, while diverse under consecutive events. These could suggestive for conservation modeling.
