“…If we regard the absorption spectrum as a whole part and divide the longwave absorption spectrum into two partsa strong absorption area and a weak absorption areaand lead the optical thickness into the equation, the analytical solution of the above equation can be obtained by using the Legendre series. This is the two-dimensional EBM used in this paper; more details can be found in Li and Chao (2014) and Li. (2010a, 2010b).…”

“…The twodimensional energy balance model (EBM) can well characterize the temperature distribution of the Earth's surface by considering the changes of radiation with latitude. Chao and Chen (1980) developed a twodimensional EBM suitable for studying the zonal distribution of surface temperature, which Li and Chao (2014) then used to study desertification. Using the twodimensional EBM represents a new way to investigate the remote effect of high-latitude greening.…”

The relationship between vegetation greening and climate change remains unclear due to its complexity, especially in drylands. Against the background of global warming, arid and semi-arid areas, including mid-latitude deserts, are most sensitive to climate change. In recent decades, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between vegetation greening and climate change have been widely discussed in the literature. However, the influence of vegetation greening in high latitudes on regional climate has not been fully studied. In this paper, a two-dimensional energy balance model was used to study the influence of greening in high latitudes on mid-latitude deserts. The authors found that when greening occurs in high latitudes, the mid-latitude desert recedes at the south boundary, while the polar ice belt and low-latitude vegetation belt both expand. Simultaneously, greening in high latitudes can induce a negative temperature anomaly in northern latitudes and a positive temperature anomaly in southern latitudes. The mid-latitude desert expands at its north and south boundaries until the CO 2 concentration reaches 600 ppm (saturated state). The greening in high latitudes could result in a lower global-mean temperature in the 'saturated' state, due to the stronger cooling in high latitudes.
