Severe Long-Lasting Drought Accelerated Carbon Depletion in the Mongolian Plateau
(2020-02-25)
Paleoclimate records identified a severe drought lasting approximately a decade on the Mongolian Plateau during the 2000s, the severity of which was only exceeded by a single drought during the last two millennia. Under ...
Vegetation Functional Properties Determine Uncertainty of Simulated Ecosystem Productivity: A Traceability Analysis in the East Asian Monsoon Region
(2020-04-02)
Global and regional projections of climate change by Earth system models are limited by their uncertain estimates of terrestrial ecosystem productivity. At the middle to low latitudes, the East Asian monsoon region has ...
Temperature Changes in Central Asia from 1979 to 2011 Based on Multiple Datasets*
(2022-03-03)
The arid and semiarid region in central Asia is sensitive and vulnerable to climate variations. However, the sparse and highly unevenly distributed meteorological stations in the region provide limited data for understanding ...
China's land cover and land use change from 1700 to 2005: Estimations from high‐resolution satellite data and historical archives
(2022-03-03)
One of the major limitations in assessing the impacts of human activities on globalbiogeochemical cycles and climate is a shortage of reliable data on historical landcover and land use change (LCLUC). China had extreme ...
Development of a REgion‐Specific Ecosystem Feedback Fire (RESFire) Model in the Community Earth System Model
(2020-04-01)
Fires play a critical role in modulating regional and global climate through disturbances on
meteorological, biogeochemical, and hydrological processes, while fires are strongly affected by climate,
terrestrial ecosystems, ...
Methane exchange between marshland and the atmosphere over China during 1949-2008
(2020-02-25)
We used a process-based ecosystem model to examine methane (CH4) fluxes in the marshland across China as a result of multifactor global changes during 1949–2008. Our
simulated results show a significant declining rate of ...
Century-long increasing trend and variability of dissolved organic carbon export from the Mississippi River basin driven by natural and anthropogenic forcing
(2020-04-02)
There has been considerable debate as to how natural forcing and anthropogenic activities alter the timing and magnitude of the delivery of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the coastal ocean, which has ramifications for ...
Improving Representation of Crop Growth and Yield in the Dynamic Land Ecosystem Model and Its Application to China
(2022-07-29)
To accurately assess the roles of agriculture in securing food security and maintaining environmental sustainability, it is essential to improve the representation of crop growth, development, and yield formation in global ...
Increasing Mississippi river discharge throughout the 21st century influenced by changes in climate, land use, and atmospheric CO2
(2022-09-15)
Previous studies have demonstrated that changes in temperature and precipitation (hereafter
climate change) would influence river discharge, but the relative importance of climate change, land use,
and elevated atmospheric ...
Global Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Pasturelands and Rangelands: Magnitude, Spatiotemporal Patterns, and Attribution
(2020-04-01)
The application of manure and mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer, and livestock excreta deposition are the main drivers of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in agricultural systems. However, the magnitude and spatiotemporal ...
