Global change in recent decades has caused severe degradation of grassland ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions in the world. In the context of global change, the maximum gross primary production (GPPmax) and its response to drought on the Mongolian Plateau (MP) remain unclear. Here, we used long time-series datasets (temperature, precipitation, GPP) and calculated GPPmax, timing of GPPmax (TGM), and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to explore the changes in peak growth of vegetation and its response to drought on the MP from 1982 to 2018. Our results show that GPPmax and TGM presented high spatial heterogeneity. The mean GPPmax was 336 g C.m- 2 over the past three decades, with a decreasing trend at a rate of 0.32 g C.m � 2.year � 1; the mean TGM was on DOY (day of year) 197, with little year-to-year change, TGM received the time-lag effect (mostly 1, 2, 10 months in time scale) of drought was found in 35.3% of the MP, while the cumulative effect of drought on TGM occurred only 16.3% of the MP. These results reveal changes in vegetation growth peaks on the MP and their response to drought over three decades and can contribute to our understanding of the response and feedbacks of MP vegetation to global change. |
