Vegetation greening and climate change respectively regulates the long-term trend and interannual variability in evapotranspiration over the Loess Plateau since the 21st century by Qiaoyin Tan, Ting Hua, Ting Hua, Haichen Zhao, Peiye Zhou, Peiye Zhou

“…Despite these findings, the underlying mechanisms driving ET variations remain contentious due to the complex interplay of multiple factors. In this study, we employed a logical attribution method, which attributes vegetation changes predominantly to anthropogenic activities (e.g., reforestation or land-use changes), while directly linking changes in climatic factors (e.g., temperature and precipitation) to climate change. …”
