Fig. 2: Spatial distribution of the principal drivers of greening in HMA.
From: Warming, increase in precipitation, and irrigation enhance greening in High Mountain Asia
Precipitation-driven greening is observed in areas where the information about LAI from precipitation/soil moisture is the highest. Warming-induced greening is limited to areas where the information from snow cover about LAI is the highest. Irrigation-induced greening is observed in irrigated lands where the information about LAI from soil moisture is the highest.
