Quantifying Time-Lag and Time-Accumulation Effects of Climate Change and Human Activities on Vegetation Dynamics in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin of the Tibetan Plateau by Ning Li, Di Wang

“…Vegetation, as a fundamental component of terrestrial ecosystems, plays a pivotal role in the flux of water, heat, and nutrients between the lithosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Assessing the impacts of climate change and human activities on vegetation dynamics is essential for maintaining the health and stability of fragile ecosystems, such as the Yarlung Zangbo River (YZR) basin of the Tibetan Plateau, the highest-elevation river basin in the world. …”
