Article Synopsis
- Researchers have found that the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has been experiencing increased vegetation greening and productivity, but the exact link between these two processes and the impact of long-term changes is still uncertain.
- An assessment of various satellite-derived products for leaf area index (LAI) and gross primary productivity (GPP) identified PML-V2 GPP and MODIS LAI as the most reliable indicators for measuring vegetation changes in the region.
- Over the past two decades, GPP has grown significantly more than LAI, indicating that factors like water availability and vegetation complexity play important roles in productivity, with only a small portion of the TP linking greening directly to productivity increases.
