^aRepresents vegetation type in degraded condition. ^bMeans that only part time of the year’s flux and climate data are measured at this site, generally during the growing season. Among the eleven eddy covariance flux sites, CN-Cng (2010), CN-Ar (2014), CN-Du2 (2008) and CN-Sw2 (2011) are used for validation as a proxy for temperate meadow steppe, Alpine meadow, typical steppe and desert steppe, respectively
