Assessing the impacts of drought on net primary productivity of global land biomes in different climate zones

Drought is the most widespread event under climate change and is projected to lead to high uncertainties in quantifying the terrestrial carbon exchange. However, considering the complexity of drought quantification and the differences in the physiological responses to drought among different vegetat...
