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

“…Results indicated that (1) a modest increase in annual LAI at a rate of 0.02 m² m⁻² dec⁻¹ was detected across the YZR basin. Spatially, LAI increased in 66% of vegetated areas, with significant increases (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in 10% of the basin. (2) Temperature, precipitation, and potential evapotranspiration exhibited minimal time-lag (<0.5 months) but pronounced notable time-accumulation effects on LAI variations, with accumulation periods ranging from 1 to 2 months. …”
