英文摘要 | The increasing frequency and intensity of droughts in a warming climate are likely to exacerbate adverse impacts on ecosystems, especially for water-limited regions such as Central Asia. A quantitative understanding of the impacts of drought on vegetation is required for drought preparedness and mitigation. Using the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies NDVI3g data and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) from 1982 to 2015, we evaluate the vegetation vulnerability to drought in Central Asia based on a copula based probabilistic framework and identify the critical regions and periods. Furthermore, a boosted regression trees (BRT) model was also used to explore the relative importance of environmental factors and plant traits on vegetation response to drought. Additionally, we also investigated to what extent irrigation could alleviate the impacts of drought. Results revealed that months from June to September was the critical period when vegetated areas were most vulnerable to drought stress. The probabilities of vegetation loss below 20th quantile under extremely dry in these months were 68.7%, 69.4%, 71.0%, and 67.0%, respectively. Regarding vegetation vulnerable regions, they shifted with different growth stages. During the middle of the growing season, semiarid areas were the most vulnerable regions, whereas the highest drought-vulnerable regions were observed in arid areas during other periods. The BRT results showed that plant traits accounted for a large fraction (58.9%) of vegetation response to drought, which was more important than ambient soil environment (20.8%). The analysis also showed that mitigations from irrigation during July to September were smaller than in other months. The results of this paper provide insight into the influences of drought on vegetation and may contribute to drought mitigation and land degradation measures in Central Asia under accelerating global warming. |
