The study analyzed vegetation changes in an alpine region on the Tibetan Plateau from 2000 to 2018 using satellite data and a special mapping tool. They found that vegetation growth varied over time, with some areas showing more growth than others. Factors like temperature, soil type, and elevation were the main reasons for these changes. The researchers discovered that these factors interacted in complex ways, affecting vegetation in a non-linear manner. This information can help us better understand how vegetation changes in alpine regions and guide efforts to protect the environment.
