Abstract Climate change is expected to result in more frequent and intense heat waves (HWs) South Asia (SA). The simultaneous increases temperature population will exacerbate the exposure future HWs. Here we estimate daytime nighttime HWs SA using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) models under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) during 2061–2100, relative 1975–2014. results show that projected frequency spatial extent of (nighttime) be higher scenario SSP5‐8.5, followed...

In order to control the desertification, large-scale afforestation programs have been attempted worldwide. Among them, China initiated world's largest program, Three-North Afforestation Program (TNAP, 1978–2050), in which sandy land has questioned during first 40 years. fact, contribution of TNAP vegetation establishment and its effectiveness desertification still remain unclear, limited further construction program. To answer questions, we detected dynamics distribution (forest, shrubland,...

The mobile carbon supply to different compartments of a tree is affected by climate, but its impact on cell-wall chemistry and mechanics remains unknown. To understand better the variability in root growth biomechanics mountain forests subjected substrate mass movement, we investigated chemical mechanical properties mature Abies georgei var. smithii (Smith fir) growing at elevations Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.Thin fine roots (0·1-4·0 mm diameter) were sampled three (3480, 3900 4330 m, last...

Exploring changes of building energy consumption and its relationships with climate can provide basis for energy-saving carbon emission reduction. Heating cooling different types buildings during 1981-2010 in Tianjin city, was simulated by using TRNSYS software. Daily or hourly extreme determined percentile methods, the impact on analyzed. The results showed that days heating apparent decrease recent 30 years residential large venue buildings, whereas increased building. No significant...

Energy consumption of air-conditioning in wet and hot climates is not only for cooling but, to a large extent, dehumidification. Taking urban agglomeration the Pearl River Delta region as case study, this study analysed dehumidification loads during past 20 years. In addition, impacts on carbon emissions were determined. The results showed that there was spatial heterogeneity variations loads. design 1991–2020 increased 1.83% 5.56% compared those 1971–2000, while decreased 0.92% 5.5%. Carbon...

ABSTRACT The present paper concerns the impact of climate on building heating energy consumption for different types in Tianjin, a large city northern China. results show that is dominantly related to dry bulb temperature ( DBT ), but impacts vary with and time scales (day, month or year). can explain 97.7% coal at 83.0–89.7% natural gas consumption. also account 25% daily monthly electricity 89% annual These suggest measures conservation should be taken because differing types. Especially,...

This paper concerns the impacts of future climate change under two forcing scenarios on energy demand commercial building and residential buildings with different energy-saving levels in Tianjin. Heating load will decrease next 90 years but increase cooling is found. All heating years. In particular, decreasing rate during 2011–2100 by slows down from first- to third-stage levels. Additionally, difference between becomes smaller as level increases. These suggest that higher are beneficial...

Abstract It is important for territorial spatial planning to master meteorological disaster risk under the conditions of climate change and then carry out adaptation according local conditions. Taking Beijing, a large city in China, as an example, assessment model was established based on framework hazard factors, disaster‐bearing body exposure, vulnerability underlying surface. Combined with 11 years observation data from 293 high‐density weather stations, rainstorm high‐temperature risks...
