Long-term trend and interannual variability of precipitation-use efficiency in Eurasian grasslands

Precipitation-use efficiency (PUE) is an important ecosystem indicator of the efficiency of carbon–water conversion. The trend and interannual variation of precipitation-use efficiency (PUE) response to climatic factors provide a theoretical foundation for understanding how Eurasian grasslands adapt...

The trend and interannual variation of precipitation-use efficiency (PUE) response to climatic factors provide a theoretical foundation for understanding how Eurasian grasslands adapt to climate change. However, the long-term trends and regulating factors of PUE in Eurasian grasslands at the continental scale are still unclear.
