The study looked at how climate change affects plant growth in different grasslands across northern China from 1985 to 2010. They found that the start, peak, and end of the growing season advanced, while the length of the growing season shortened. The temperature and precipitation together influenced these changes in different grassland types. This shows that climate change has a big impact on plant growth in China's grasslands, and more research is needed to understand these relationships better.
