Precipitation patterns alter growth of temperate vegetation
Abstract
In this paper, we use growing season Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of plant growth to quantify the relationships between vegetation production and intra‐annual precipitation patterns for three major temperate biomes in China: grassland, deciduous broadleaf forest, and deciduous coniferous forest. With increased precipitation, NDVI of grassland and deciduous broadleaf forest increased, but that of deciduous coniferous forest decreased. More frequent precipitation significantly increased growth of grassland and deciduous broadleaf forest, but did not alter that of deciduous coniferous forest at low precipitation levels and constrained its growth at high precipitation levels. The relationships between NDVI and average precipitation per event were opposite to those between NDVI and precipitation frequency. Such nonlinear feedback suggests that the responses of vegetation production to changes in precipitation patterns differ by both biome type and precipitation amount.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
