Elevation and Climate Effects on Vegetation Greenness in an Arid Mountain-Basin System of Central Asia

Mountain-basin systems (MBS) in Central Asia are unique and complex ecosystems, wherein their elevation gradients lead to high spatial heterogeneity in vegetation and its response to climate change. Exploring elevation-dependent vegetation greenness variation and the effects of climate factors on ve...
