Ecosystem water use efficiency and carbon use efficiency respond oppositely to vegetation greening in China's Loess Plateau

Science of The Total Environment
Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE) and carbon use efficiency (CUE) are critical parameters to determine the trade-off between water consumption and carbon sequestration in drylands. However, the roles of vegetation cover, climate factors and soil moisture in affecting the coupling of WUE and CUE were still poorly understood.

Does vegetation greening have a positive effect on global vegetation carbon and water use efficiency?

Science of The Total Environment
Terrestrial ecosystems have undergone significant changes as a result of climate change, profoundly affecting global carbon and water cycling processes. Notably, the synergistic changes in vegetation carbon use efficiency (CUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) and their response to patterns of climate change over the last 40 years are unknown. Therefore,

Global patterns of vegetation carbon use efficiency and their climate drivers deduced from MODIS satellite data and process-based models

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2018
Abstract Carbon use efficiency (CUE), defined as the ratio of net primary production (NPP) to gross primary production (GPP), represents the capacity of plants in converting assimilated atmospheric carbon dioxide to ecosystem carbon storage. Process-based models are important tools for simulating NPP and GPP; yet the model performance in simulating ...
