Estimating Rainfall Interception of Vegetation Canopy from MODIS Imageries in Southern China

Remote Sensing, 2019
The interception of rainfall by vegetation canopies plays an important role in the hydrologic process of ecosystems. Most estimates of canopy rainfall interception in present studies are mainly through field observations at the plot region.

Pollution exacerbates China’s water scarcity and its regional inequality

Nature Communications, 2020
The impact on inadequate water quality on water scarcity is unclear. Here the authors quantify China’s present-day water scarcity and show that inadequate water quality exacerbates China’s water scarcity, which is unevenly distributed across the country.
