Bamboo forest has undergone dramatic expansion due to climate changes and human activities, and its direct effects on both carbon storage and biodiversity of the forest ecosystem have occurred in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in China. However, the uncertainty in tracking bamboo forest extent and expansion intensity substantially inf...

Desertification has hampered eco-environment sustainable development in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas. However, the effect of the desertification process on vegetation carbon sources and sinks remains unclear in Central Asia. Based on Landsat images and cloud computing, this study applied and evaluated five machine learning methods (i.e....

Accurate high-resolution actual evapotranspiration (ET) and gross primary production (GPP) information is essential for understanding the large-scale water and carbon dynamics. However, substantial uncertainties exist in the current ET and GPP datasets in China because of insufficient local ground measurements used for model constraint. This study...

The variation in net primary productivity (NPP) and its controlling factors are crucial for understanding the mechanisms that maintain terrestrial ecosystem under ongoing climate and land cover change. However, such knowledge is still deficient in Central Asia where vegetation may be subjected to different drought stress. To achieve this goal, our...
