Significance Previous estimations of carbon budgets in China’s terrestrial ecosystems varied greatly because the multiplicity data sources and inconsistency methodologies. By conducting a methodologically consistent field campaign across country, we estimated that total pool forests, shrublands, grasslands, croplands was 79.24 ± 2.42 Pg C. The density exhibited strong dependence on climate regime: it decreased with temperature but increased precipitation. country’s forests have large...
Significance The Mongolian Plateau, composed mainly of Inner Mongolia in China and the Republic Mongolia, has been experiencing remarkable lake shrinkage during recent decades because intensive human activities climate changes. This study provides a comprehensive satellite-based evaluation across plateau, finds greater decreasing rate number lakes than (34.0% vs. 17.6%) between late 1980s 2010, due to an unsustainable mining boom agricultural irrigation former. Disastrous damages natural...
Abstract The extensive use of chemical fertilizers poses serious collateral problems such as environmental pollution, pest resistance development and food safety decline. Researches focused on applying plant-beneficial microorganisms to partially replace fertilizer is increasing due the requirement sustainable agriculture development. Thus investigate possibility a Trichoderma strain its bio-organic product in saving application improving crop quality, field trial continuous pot experiments...
China's massive wave of urbanization may be threatened by land subsidence. Using a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar interferometry technique, we provided systematic assessment subsidence in all major cities from 2015 to 2022. Of the examined urban lands, 45% are subsiding faster than 3 millimeters per year, and 16% 10 affecting 29 7% population, respectively. The appears associated with range factors such as groundwater withdrawal weight buildings. By 2120, 22 26% coastal lands will have...
Significance Northern forests have sequestered a substantial amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during past several decades. This large (C) sink usually is considered to be driven by tree regrowth after stand-replacing disturbance and growth enhancement due environmental changes, but relative contribution between these two processes remains unclear. In this study, we evaluate induced changes biomass C in Japan’s demonstrate that accounts for 8.4–21.6% four major plantations 1980...
Biomass carbon accumulation in forest ecosystems is a widespread phenomenon at both regional and global scales. However, as coupled carbon-climate models predicted, positive feedback could be triggered if accelerated soil decomposition offsets enhanced vegetation growth under warming climate. It thus crucial to reveal whether how stock has changed over recent decades. large-scale changes across have not yet been carefully examined scales, which widely perceived big bottleneck untangling...
Abstract Atmospheric acidic deposition has been a major environmental problem since the industrial revolution. However, our understanding of effect on soil pH is inconclusive. Here we examined temporal variations in topsoil and their relationships with atmospheric sulfur nitrogen across China's forests from 1980s to 2000s. To accomplish this goal, conducted artificial neural network simulations using historical inventory data set synthesized literature published after 2000. Our results...
Abstract Global climate change likely alters the structure and function of vegetation stability terrestrial ecosystems. It is therefore important to assess factors controlling ecosystem resilience from local global scales. Here we over past 35 years using early warning indicators calculated normalized difference index data. On a scale find that reduced ecosystems in 64.5% vegetated area. Temperature had greater influence on than precipitation, while mean state variability. However, there no...
Abstract. Surface soils interact strongly with both climate and biota provide fundamental ecosystem services that maintain food, human security. However, the quantitative linkages between soil properties, remain unclear at global scale. By compiling a comprehensive database, we mapped eight major properties (bulk density; clay, silt, sand fractions; pH; organic carbon, SOC, total nitrogen, STN, C:N mass ratios) in surface layer (0–30 cm), based on machine learning algorithms, demonstrated...
Abstract Widespread shrub encroachment in global drylands may increase plant biomass and change soil organic carbon stocks of grassland ecosystems. However, the response inorganic (SIC), which is a major component dryland pools, to this vegetation shift remains unknown. We conducted systematic field survey 75 pairs shrub‐encroached (SEG) control plots at 25 sites grasslands Inner Mongolia Plateau evaluate how affects SIC density (SICD) these found that significantly reduced SICD upper 100 cm...
Abstract China has been experiencing significant climate and land use changes over the past decades. The way in which these changes, particularly a warming hiatus national ecological restoration projects that occurred almost concurrently late 1990s, have influenced vegetation net primary productivity (NPP), is not well documented. Here, we estimated annual seasonal China’s NPP between 1982 2015 using Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach model examined their shifting years (SHYs) caused by switch...
The anti-greenhouse gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) is mainly emitted by algae and accounts for more than half of the total natural flux gaseous sulfur to atmosphere, strongly reducing solar radiation thereby temperature on Earth. However, relationship between phytoplankton biomass DMS emissions debated inconclusive. Our study presents field observations from 100 freshwater lakes, in concert with data global ocean emissions, showing that algal show a hump-shaped relationship, i.e. atmosphere...
