A model to quantify their relation with environmental factors has been set up. The ratio of the number of C<sub>4</sub> plants to that of C<sub>3</sub> plants along NECT shows two low and two high trends from east to west, and their distribution is mainly decided by annual average temperature and precipitation.展开更多
