Grasslands in Inner Mongolia Flourish as Climate Changes, Boosting Carbon Capture
The study analyzed how grassland productivity in Inner Mongolia changed over the past 10 years in response to climate factors. Using satellite data and climate information, researchers found that grassland productivity increased overall, with the most significant growth in certain regions. Meadow steppe areas had the highest productivity, influenced by both precipitation and temperature. Typical steppe productivity was mainly affected by precipitation, while desert steppe was more impacted by temperature. Overall, precipitation was the main driver of grassland productivity in Inner Mongolia, with different types of grasslands responding differently to climate changes.
