Abstract:Changes in heat and moisture significantly co-alter ecosystem functioning. However, knowledge on the dynamics of ecosystem responses to climate change is limited. Here, we quantify long-term ecosystem sensitivity (ES) based on weighted ratios of vegetation productivity variability and multiple climate variables from satellite observations, greater values of which indicate more yields per hydrothermal condition change. Our results show that ES exhibits large spatial variability and increases with the aridity in… Show more
