Ecosystem Water Use Efficiency Across an Aridity Gradient in China's Drylands

China's drylands provide data for analyzing ecosystem water use efficiency along an aridity gradient. The dataset was authored by zhang yiwen and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 20, 2026, and is available as a 100.4 MB ZIP file.

Use Cases

• Modeling ecosystem water use efficiency based on aridity gradients described in the title
• Analyzing spatial patterns of water-carbon interactions in dryland ecosystems
• Studying the shifting environmental controls on ecosystem productivity mentioned in the title

Strengths

• Dataset is 100.4 MB in size, indicating a medium-scale data collection.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
