Abstract Carbon Utilisation Efficiency (CUE) is the ratio of carbon used by organisms for growth and development to the total carbon they have absorbed, and plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle. The terrestrial ecosystems in the Manas River Basin in Xinjiang are rich in variety, and exploring the changes in CUE of vegetation in different ...

Elevation and Vegetation Cover Dominate Inter-Basin Water Use Efficiency Patterns in China
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingWater use efficiency (WUE) is a fundamental indicator of the balance between ecosystem carbon assimilation and water consumption. However, its spatial variability and dominant environmental drivers across China's river basins remain unclear ...
