Understanding the relationships and dynamics of environmental variables, leaf traits, and
photosynthetic parameters in determining gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) is …

Vegetation carbon use efficiency (CUE), the ratio between net primary productivity (NPP)
and gross primary productivity (GPP), provides insight into the ability of ecosystems to …

Terrestrial ecosystems have undergone significant changes as a result of climate change,
profoundly affecting global carbon and water cycling processes. Notably, the synergistic …

Partitioning forest ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) into transpiration (T) and evaporation
(E) has been widely discussed, as it is crucial for understanding hydrological processes and …

Research on the carbon and water use efficiency (CUE, WUE) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
(QTP) holds significant importance due to its implications in understanding and addressing …

The environmental regulatory mechanism underlying the coupling of leaf photosynthesis
and transpiration in Artemisia ordosica, a typical desert shrub in China, remains unclear. To …

Water use efficiency (WUE) quantifies the amount of water expended per unit of dry leaf
matter accumulated, reflecting the trade-offs between water consumption and carbon …

Forest-floor evapotranspiration (ET ff) is a major pathway for water loss in terrestrial
ecosystems, often accounting for more than half of ecosystem evapotranspiration. However …

The ratio of soil autotrophic-to-heterotrophic respiration (or R a/R h) varies as a function of
trade-offs between the production (release) of carbon dioxide (CO 2) by both (i) plant roots …

Investigating the interannual variation (IAV) of evapotranspiration (ET) is important for
understanding the water cycle in forest ecosystems. However, there has been little research …
