Warming-Induced Decline of Picea crassifolia Growth in the Qilian Mountains in Recent Decades.
Warming-induced drought has widely affected forest dynamics in most places of the northern hemisphere. In this study, we assessed how climate warming has affected Picea crassifolia (Qinghai spruce) forests using tree growth-climate relationships and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)...
