Quantitative assessments of water-use efficiency in Temperate Eurasian Steppe along an aridity gradient.

Quantitative assessments of water-use efficiency in Temperate Eurasian Steppe along an aridity gradient.

Water-use efficiency (WUE), defined as the ratio of net primary productivity (NPP) to evapotranspiration (ET), is an important indicator to represent the trade-off pattern between vegetation productivity and water consumption. Its dynamics under climate change are important to ecohydrology and ecosy...
