Spatial patterns of annual NPP derived from (a) CLM_G, (b) CLM_C, (c) CLM_I, (d) CLM_W and (e) IBIS for the period of 1979–2010 (units: g C m−2 yr−1).

Shan Lin et al. explored the estimates of #NetPrimaryProductivity and #ActualEvapotranspiration over the #TibetanPlateau from the Community Land Model version 4.5 with four atmospheric forcing datasets, the overall performance of GSWP3 data was the best.
