What is Susceptibility of vegetation low-growth to climate extremes on Tibetan Plateau about?
Both intensity and frequency of climate extreme events have significantly increased over the past decades, which triggered exceptional responses in terrestrial ecosystems. Resolving the responses of vegetation growth to climate extremes are essential but challenging. The Tibetan Plateau (TP), home to fragile alpine ecosystems, is sensitive to increased climatic variabilities and thus an ideal region to characterize various ecosystem response to climate extremes. In this study, we employed event coincidence analysis to detect the susceptibility (quantified by coincidence rate) of vegetation low-growth to four climate extremes (drought, extreme wet, extreme hot and cold) using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) over TP for the period 2001 to 2018. We found notable changes in the susceptibility of vegetation low-growth to climate extremes along climate gradients, with higher susceptibility to extreme hot generally being found in warmer regions, while higher susceptibility to extreme cold in colder regions. Meanwhile, susceptibility to drought decreased while that to extreme wet increased with increasing precipitation. We also
