Supporting evidence — 3 representative gaps

• Differentiated Climate Drivers of Carbon and Water Use Efficiencies Across Land Use Types in the Yellow River Basin, China (2025) · Land · cited 5× · doi

  Most current research has overlooked the spatiotemporal changes across different land use types. There is a need to assess carbon use efficiency and water use efficiency across different land use types. The study aims to fill this gap by evaluating the response of WUE and CUE to climatic factors.

  The lack of comprehensive models that include all the processes present in climate models and the interaction between the physical climate and the biosphere. The need for improved representation of the global carbon cycle in Earth system models, particularly in regards to low ocean productivity and land primary production.

• Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Influencing Factors of Ecosystem Carbon Use Efficiency in Central Asia (2026) · Land · doi

  The results are based on gridded data products, and their inherent uncertainties may have affected the accuracy of the quantified results. The lack of ground-based flux observations in Central Asia prevented validation and calibration. The study period may be insufficient to fully capture the long-term adjustment processes of carbon pools, and the lagged effects of extreme climate events on the carbon cycle are also difficult to fully assess. The factors mainly considered in this study did not fully account for human activities and other factors that may affect the carbon cycle.
