Assessing precipitation, evapotranspiration, and NDVI as controls of U.S. Great Plains plant production

Abstract Productivity throughout the North American Great Plains grasslands is generally considered to be water limited, with the strength of this limitation increasing as precipitation decreases. We hypothesize that cumulative actual evapotranspiration water loss (AET) from April to July is the pre...
