The lag and cumulative response of vegetation WUE to water vapor pressure deficit on the Shiyang River Basin, northwest of China_data description

Data description

This document provides details about the data description in the manuscript. The variables are described below along with their collection methods and calculation processes:

the  lag effect: The zip file of“The lag effect” contains three files: "rET_lag_result_z", "rGPP_lag_result"_, and" rWUE_lag_result_z".

rET_lag_result_z:    "rET_lag_result_z" database is a dataset used to analyze the lag effect of water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on Evapotranspiration (ET)

rGPP_lag_result_z:  "rGPP_lag_result_z" database is a dataset used to analyze the lag effect of water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) 

rWUE_lag_result_z:  "rWUE_lag_result_z" database is a dataset used to analyze the lag effect of water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on Water Use Efficiency (WUE)

the Cumulative effect: The zip file of“The Cumulative effect” contains three files: "rET_acc_result_z", "rGPP_acc_result"_, and" rWUE_acc_result_z".

rET_acc_result_z:    "rET_acc_result_z" database is a dataset used to analyze the Cumulative effect of water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on Evapotranspiration (ET)

rGPP_acc_result_z:  "rGPP_acc_result_z" database is a dataset used to analyze the Cumulative effect of water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) 

rWUE_acc_result_z:  "rWUE_acc_result_z" database is a dataset used to analyze the Cumulative effect of water vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on Water Use Efficiency (WUE)

the Slop_Partition: The zip file of“The Slop_Partition”contains three files: "Slop_ET_Partition", "Slop_GPP_Partition"_, and" Slop_WUE_Partition".

Slop_ET_Partition: "Slop_ET_Partition" database is a dataset used to calculate the temporal and spatial dynamic change·trend of Evapotranspiration (ET)

Slop_GPP_Partition: "Slop_GPP_Partition" database is a dataset used to calculate the temporal and spatial dynamic change·trend of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP)

Slop_WUE_Partition: " Slop_WUE_Partition"  database is a dataset used to calculate the temporal and spatial dynamic change·trend of Water Use Efficiency (WUE)
