[Projected changes in vegetation net primary productivity of grassland in Inner Mongolia, China during 2011-2050.]
摘要
(RCP8.5). NPP of Inner Mongolia grassland appeared to decrease by approximately 11.6% (2020s), 12.0% (2030s) and 18.0% (2040s) under the RCP4.5 in relation to baseline period, while its reduction could be exacerbated as 23.8% (2020s), 21.2% (2030s) and 30.1% (2040s) in the RCP8.5 at the regional scale. In addition, grassland NPP induced by future climate changes varied between different grassland types and times, strongly correlating with climate scenario. Even for the RCP4.5, however, a great majority (89.7%) of the grassland exhibited a decreasing trend in annual NPP, with 15.6% of the area decreasing by more than 20% compared with the baseline term. Therefore, although future precipitation rising could benefit vegetation growth, it might be still not enough to compensate for the negative effect of warming on the NPP of Inner Mongolia grassland, and the sustainable development of grassland resources might face a greater challenge.
