The study looked at how vegetation in eastern China changed from 1999 to 2007 and how it was linked to temperature and rainfall. They found that overall, vegetation increased, especially in the north sub-tropical humid zone and dry fields. In summer, vegetation increased the most. The correlation between vegetation and temperature or rainfall varied across different zones and land types. Grasslands showed the strongest link between vegetation and temperature or rainfall, while woodlands had weaker correlations. Paddy fields were more linked to temperature, and dry fields were more linked to rainfall. The findings matched similar studies in China, showing that vegetation in eastern China is influenced by temperature and rainfall in different ways depending on the location and land type.
