摘要

During the 20th century the global climate has been shifted towards warmer and drier regimes,mainly due to anthropogenic warming [1,2].Climate changes can notably disrupt the environ ment and ecosystems.To evaluate the impacts of climate changeon ecoregions,the K(o)ppen-Trewartha (K-T) climate classification [3] is widely used because it was constructed on the basis of surface vegetation.The K-T classification system combines temperature,precipitation,and their seasonality into a single metric.Six major climate types and several sub-climate types are defined (A:tropical,B:dry,C:subtropical,D:temperate,E:subpolar,F:polar).Each K-T climate type is consistent with certain prevalent plant species.Definitions and criteria of K-T climate types were outlined by Feng et al.[4].
