It is crucial to determine the factors affecting the carbon use efficiency (CUE) and water use
efficiency (WUE) of vegetation in ecosystems. However, the relationships between climate …

Carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems is critical for achieving carbon neutrality; however, its
environmental sensitivity and potential remain uncertain. A comprehensive framework was …

Climate change has led to an increase in the severity and frequency of extreme weather
events, especially droughts. Quantifying the impacts of droughts on vegetation activities is …

The variations in net primary productivity (NPP) and its controls are critical to understand the
mechanisms that maintain ecosystem services under ongoing climate change and human …

Accurate estimation of carbon cycle is a challenging task owing to the complexity and
heterogeneity of ecosystems. Carbon Use Efficiency (CUE) is a metric to define the ability of …

Forest production efficiency (FPE) metric describes how efficiently the assimilated carbon is
partitioned into plants organs (biomass production, BP) or—more generally—for the …

China has conducted large-scale eco-afforestation projects in karst areas for mitigating
rocky desertification in recent decades. However, the benefits of karst vegetation productivity …

Vegetation productivity is a critical indicator of global ecosystem health and is impacted by
human activities and climate change. A wide range of optical sensing platforms, from ground …

Tropical forests cover large areas of equatorial Africa and play a substantial role in the
global carbon cycle. However, there has been a lack of biometric measurements to …

Trade-offs of ecosystem services (ESs) are valuable for decision-making when integrating
growth, the achievement of human well-being, and the maintenance of ecosystem functions …
