How Do Changes in Grassland Phenology and Its Responses to Extreme Climatic Events in Central Asia? by Xinwei Wang, Jianhao Li, Jianghua Zheng, Liang Liu, Xiaojing Yu, Ruikang Tian, Mengxiang Xing

“…However, the mediating effects of intensity of compound drought and heat events (CDHEs) and compound moisture and heat events (CMHEs) on grassland phenology and their trends in the relative contributions to grassland phenology over time have remained unclear. Based on the calculation results of grassland phenology and compound events (CEs), this study used trend analysis, partial least squares regression structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and ridge regression analysis to investigate the mediating effect and the temporal trend in relative contribution of CEs to grassland phenology in Central Asia, and the magnitude of sensitivity of grassland phenology to CEs. …”
