“…Arid and semiarid areas account for approximately 20-35% of total terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP) (Field et al 1998) and 15-20% of total soil organic carbon (Lal 2004;Liu et al 2016). Some dryland ecosystems have shown a significant carbon sequestration potential, both through photosynthesis by plants (shrubs and grasses) (Gao et al 2012) and CO 2 absorption by alkaline soils Xie et al 2009).…”

“…Recent evidence suggests an increasingly important role of semiarid ecosystems in driving the trend and interannual variability of the global carbon cycle (Poulter et al 2014;Ahlström et al 2015). Despite the importance of drylands, carbon, water and energy exchanges and their influencing factors are less well understood in these ecosystems compared to mesic forests and grasslands (Scott et al 2015;Biederman et al 2016;Liu et al 2016), limiting our ability to project the global carbon balance under changing climate. In particular, the arid and semiarid shrublands of northern China, which represent an important land-cover type in Eurasia, are subject to increasing temperatures and altered PPT patterns (Liu et al 2011;Gao et al 2012).…”
