摘要： Water use efficiency (WUE), as an important metric for ecosystem resilience, has been identified to play a significant role in the coupling of carbon and water cycles. The farming-pastoral ecotone of Northern China (FPENC), which is highly susceptible to drought due to water scarcity, has long been recognized as an ecologically fragile zone. The ecological restoration projects in China have mitigated land degradation and maintain the sustainability of dryland. However, the process of greening in drylands has the potential to impact water availability. A comprehensive analysis of the WUE in the FPENC can help to understand the carbon absorption and water consumption. Using gross primary production (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) data from a MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), alongside biophysical variables data and land cover information, the spatio-temporal variations in WUE from 2003 to 2022 were examined. Additionally, its driving force and the ecosystem resilience were also revealed. Results indicated that the annual mean of WUE fluctuated between 0.52 and 2.60 gC kgH(2)O(-1), showing a non-significant decreasing trend across the FPENC. Notably, the annual averaged WUE underwent a significant decline before 2012 (p < 0.05), and then showed a slight increased trend (p = 0.14) during the year afterward (i.e., 2013-2022). In terms of climatic controls, temperature (Temp) and soil volumetric water content (VSWC) dominantly affected WUE from 2003 to 2012; VPD (vapor pressure deficit), VSWC, and Temp showed comprehensive controls from 2013 to 2022. The findings suggest that a wetter atmosphere and increased soil moisture contribute to the decline in WUE. In total, 59.2% of FPENC was shown to be non-resilient, as grassland occupy the majority of the area, located in Mu Us Sandy land and Horqin Sand Land. These results underscore the importance of climatic factors in the regulation WUE over FPENC and highlight the necessity for focused research on WUE responses to climate change, particularly extreme events like droughts, in the future.
