Drought, widely studied as an important driver of ecosystem dynamics, is predicted to
increase in frequency and severity globally. To study drought, ecologists must define or at …

Drought has large impacts on the vegetation growth of global terrestrial ecosystems,
particularly grasslands. Extensive in-situ studies have shown that the impact of drought on …

Improving our understanding of present and future impacts of drought on the vegetation in
northern China is heightened by expectations that drought would increase its vulnerability …

Droughts, which are characterized by multiple dimensions including frequency, duration,
severity, and onset timing, can impact tree stem radial growth profoundly. Different …

Drought affects land surface dynamics. Quantifying the response of vegetation productivity to
variations in drought events at different time-scales is crucial for evaluating the potential …

Advance knowledge of the linkage between meteorological drought and vegetation drought
is relevant for the risk of droughts and the impacts on vegetation health. This study employs …

Drought and vegetation dynamics in the northern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of
China (NXC), the centre of Asia with arid climate, were assessed using the standardized …

In the context of global climate change, many studies have focused on the interannual
vegetation variation trends and their response to precipitation and temperature, but ignored …

Central Asia (CA) is a continental region that is sensitive to water conditions. Hence, drought
has one of the primary effects on the vegetation activities in CA and could vary with climate …

Previous studies have confirmed the time-lagged and cumulative effects of drought and
anthropogenic activities on vegetation growth, but these studies focus on the time-lagged …
