Quantifying the Impact of Vegetation Greening on Evapotranspiration and Its Components on the Tibetan Plateau by Peidong Han, Hanyu Ren, Yinghan Zhao, Na Zhao, Zhaoqi Wang, Zhipeng Wang, Yangyang Liu, Zhenqian Wang

“…The model’s performance was validated using eddy covariance observations from three flux tower sites, yielding R² values of 0.81–0.86 and RMSEs ranging from 6.31 to 13.20 mm/month. (2) Vegetation greening exerted a significant enhancement on ET, with the mean annual ET under greening scenarios (258.6 ± 120.9 mm) being 2.9% greater than under non-greening scenarios (251.2 ± 157.2 mm) during 1982–2018. (3) Temperature and vapor pressure deficit were the dominant controls on ET, influencing 53.5% and 23% of the region, respectively, as identified consistently by both multiple linear regression and dominant factor analyses. These findings highlight the net influence of vegetation greening and offer valuable guidance for water management and sustainable ecological restoration efforts in the region.…”
