Our literature review identifies several ecosystem
Research gap analysis derived from 3 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
Our literature review identifies several ecosystem properties and many regions of the world for which there are insufficient data to fully evaluate the influence of climatic drivers, and the identified data gaps can be used by scientists to

Despite extensive research on climate change, there is a significant gap in understanding the combined impact of climatic factors such as urban population growth, forest area, electricity production from oil and nuclear sources, and average precipitation on ecological performance in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries.
