We assessed how climate change may impact net primary production (NPP) and reference evapotranspiration (ET0) from the Zagros region of western Iran covered extensively by oak, -Quercus branti Lindl. forests. The daily meteorological parameters of temperature (T), precipitation (P), relative humidit...
