摘要： We investigate the spatiotemporal patterns and environmental controls of the end of the vegetation growing season (EOS) in autumn across the alpine and temperate grasslands of China from 2001 through 2020, focusing on whether the EOS is likely a "dryness effect" due to drought or a "coolness effect" caused by cold temperature in autumn. The results show that the EOS date is earlier (similar to 6 days earlier on average) in alpine grasslands than in temperate grasslands. During 2001-2020, a slight non-significant delay of 1.0 day/decade is observed for the regional averaged EOS, which is mostly induced by the delayed EOS in 64.4 % of the study region. Preseason temperature (1-2 months before the EOS) exerts a positive control on the EOS in most of the alpine grasslands and some regions of the eastern part of the temperate grasslands, while drought with a mean length of 3.2 months before the EOS exerts positive effects on the EOS in the central, southwestern, and western parts of the temperate grasslands and in the northeastern part of the alpine grasslands. The positive effects of temperature and drought are very likely phenomena reflecting that the EOS is the "coolness effect" associated with lower temperatures in autumn and the "dryness effect" due to drought, especially meteorological drought without consideration of soil moisture, in late summer and/or early autumn, respec-tively. Our findings are supported by an analysis of the spatial patterns of the cold degree days (CDD) and EOS sensi-tivity to the CDD. However, the negative effects of drought are also found in eastern temperate grasslands, likely caused by decreased temperature accompanied by increased moisture. The results presented here highlight the impor-tance of incorporating the impacts of droughts on EOS variability, as well as their interactive effects with temperature, into current vegetation autumn phenology models for grasslands.
