Quantifying influences of physiographic factors on temperate dryland vegetation, Northwest China
Variability in satellite measurements of terrestrial greenness in drylands is widely observed in land surface processes and global change studies. Yet the underlying causes differ and are not fully understood. Here, we used the GeogDetector model, a new spatial statistical approach, to examine the individual and combined influences of physiographic factors on dryland vegetation greenness change...
متن کاملVegetation Classification of Darabkola Forest and Their Relation to Physiographic Factors
This study focused on vegetation classification of Darabkola forest in the middle part of Hyrcanian forests in north of Iran. For this purpose, 139 releves were sampled using systematic- selective method in 400 m grid dimensions by the consideration of indicator stands concept. Based on modified TWINSPAN method and Braun-Blanquet phytosociological method, five associations (Parrotio persicae-Ca...
متن کاملSimulating the Effect of Climate Change on Vegetation Zone Distribution on the Loess Plateau, Northwest China
A risk assessment of vegetation zone responses to climate change was conducted using the classical Holdridge life zone model on the Loess Plateau of Northwest China. The results show that there are currently ten vegetation zones occurring on the Loess Plateau (1950–2000), including alvar desert, alpine wet tundra, alpine rain tundra, boreal moist forest, boreal wet forest, cool temperate desert...
متن کاملImpact of Climate Change on Vegetation Growth in Arid Northwest of China from 1982 to 2011
Previous studies have concluded that the increase in vegetation in the arid northwest of China is related to precipitation rather than temperature. However, these studies neglected the effects of climate warming on water availability that arise through changes in the melting characteristics of this snowy and glaciated region. Here, we characterized vegetation changes using the newly improved th...
متن کاملEffects of seasonal snow on the growing season of temperate vegetation in China.
Variations in seasonal snowfall regulate regional and global climatic systems and vegetation growth by changing energy budgets of the lower atmosphere and land surface. We investigated the effects of snow on the start of growing season (SGS) of temperate vegetation in China. Across the entire temperate region in China, the winter snow depth increased at a rate of 0.15 cm yr(-1) (P = 0.07) durin...
