The study looked at changes in plant growth in the Yangtze River source region over 50 years. They used climate data to calculate how much plants were growing each year. They found that rainfall, temperature, and evaporation all increased, leading to more plant growth. The plants were growing more each year, especially from 2001 to 2008. Rainfall, evaporation, and temperature were the main factors affecting plant growth in the region.
