AB  - A field growing/non-growing season asymmetric warming experiment (C: control, 
      i.e., no warming in the entire year; GLNG: growing season warming lower than 
      non-growing season warming; GHNG: growing season warming higher than non-growing 
      season warming) was conducted in an alpine meadow of the Northern Tibetan Plateau 
      in early June 2015. The effects of growing/non-growing season asymmetric warming 
      on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), soil adjusted vegetation 
      index (SAVI), aboveground biomass (AGB) and gross primary production (GPP) in 
      2015-2017 were examined. The 'GLNG' and 'GHNG' treatments significantly increased 
      the annual mean air temperature (T(a)) by 2.95  degrees C and 2.76  degrees C, and the vapor 
      pressure deficit (VPD) by 0.23 kPa and 0.28 kPa but significantly reduced the 
      annual mean soil moisture (SM) by 0.02 m(3) m(-3) and 0.02 m(3) m(-3) 
      respectively; however, changes in the annual mean T(a), VPD and SM were the same 
      between the 'GLNG' and 'GHNG' treatments over the three years in 2015-2017. There 
      were no significant differences in the SAVI and GPP among the 'C', 'GLNG' and 
      'GHNG' treatments over the three growing seasons in 2015-2017. The 'GLNG' and 
      'GHNG' treatments did not significantly affect the NDVI and AGB compared to 'C', 
      whereas the NDVI and AGB under the 'GLNG' treatment were significantly greater 
      than those under the 'GHNG' treatment over the three growing seasons in 
      2015-2017. The significant differences in NDVI and AGB between the 'GLNG' and 
      'GHNG' treatments may be attributed to the different effects under the 'GLNG' and 
      'GHNG' treatments on the non-growing season T(a), growing season water 
      availability and soil nitrogen availability. Therefore, the non-growing season 
      with a higher warming magnitude may have stronger effects on the aboveground 
      plant production than did the growing season with a higher warming magnitude in 
      the alpine meadow of the Northern Tibetan Plateau.
