Fig. 1From: Remotely monitoring ecosystem respiration from various grasslands along a large-scale east–west transect across northern ChinaSpatial location and distribution of the grassland flux sites used in the present study. The base map is derived from MODIS land cover product (MCD12Q1 C5, 500 m resolution) based on the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP) global vegetation classification scheme in 2010. The detailed descriptions of these flux sites including CN-Cng, CN-Nmg, CN-Du2, CN-Hzz, CN-Sw2, CN-Ham, CN-Ar, CN-Ds, CN-Dan, CN-Ty and CN-Mq can be seen in Table 1Back to article page
