Short summary
It is interesting to understand vegetation distribution and dynamics under water limitation in this transect. We apply Eagleson's ecohydrological optimality method in the NECT based on data from 2000 to 2013 to get M*, then compare with M from NDVI, furthermore to discuss the sensitivity of M* to vegetation properties and climate factors. The result indicates that the average M* fits the actual M well. The sensitivity analyses show how M* changes with vegetation characteristics and climates.
