This spatial pattern is consistent with many previous studies: (1) high latitude regions and Qinghai Tibet Plateau experienced a continuous increasing GPP caused by warming and extended growing season 47–50 ; (2) afforestation in Northern China 51 , 52 and vegetation greening in southern Sahara Desert 53 , 54 also lead to an increase in GPP; (3) Tropical forest in southeast Asia 55 and southern part of Amazon 56 where deforestation happened exhibited a decreasing trend of GPP.
