Study of mesoscale NDVI prediction models in arid and semiarid regions of China under changing environments

Currently, studies analysing the relationship between climatic factors and vegetation may present some problems, including considering insufficient spatiotemporal characteristics, contradictory results and deficiencies in reflecting vegetation changes in the future. To address this, we first analyse...
