Physiological changes induced by green fodder expansion into grasslands and croplands enhance water-use efficiency in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau by Xu Wang, Jilin Yang, Jie Wang, Tong Yang, Chuchen Chang, Yanbo Zhao, Xiaocui Wu, Geli Zhang, Xiangming Xiao

“…The rapid green fodder expansion in native grassland and cropland in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (a rain-fed region), driven by the increasing forage demand, has altered vegetation patterns and potentially affected carbon and water cycles. To clarify the elusive effects of green fodder expansion on the carbon sequestration and water consumption in this region, we examined its impacts on productivity, evapotranspiration, and water-use efficiency using a pairwise comparison approach at seasonal and annual scales in 2019. …”
