The AA. used a radiation-transfer equation estimate of July surface temperatures (Ts) in China's Yongding River basin based on thermal infrared Landsat TM images from 1987 and 2005 and Landsat ETM+ images from 2000. Based upon the Ts–NDVI

including regional differentiation, physical, economic, and macro-policy factors as well. Spatial pattern of land use change and its driving forces were investigated in China in the early 21st century. The development of oasis agriculture in Northwest China
and the reclamation in Northeast China led to a slight increase in arable land area in northern China. Due to the “Grain for Green” policy, forest area was significantly increased in the middle and western developing regions.

The net primary production (NPP) of grasslands in northeastern Asia, mainly distributed in northern China, Mongolia and a part of southern Siberia in southeastern Russia, was estimated using improved CASA model with MODIS data distributed from 2000
