Climate change threatens grassland biomass in Inner Mongolia, study finds.
Grassland biomass in Inner Mongolia was studied using field data and satellite images. Different models were used for typical and desert steppes, with climate factors like temperature and precipitation affecting biomass levels. The highest biomass was in 2012, and it varied across the region and over time. Temperature had a bigger impact in typical steppes, while precipitation was more important in desert steppes. This research helps with managing grasslands and assessing carbon storage in Inner Mongolia.
