Modeled effects of climate change on actual evapotranspiration in different eco-geographical regions in the Tibetan Plateau

From 1981 to 2010, the effects of climate change on evapotranspiration of the alpine ecosystem and the regional difference of effects in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) were studied based on the Lund-Potsdam-Jena dynamic vegetation model and data from 80 meteorological stations. Changes in actual evapotranspiration (AET) and water balance in TP were analyzed. Over the last 30 years, climate change in TP was characterized by significantly increased...
