Emerging negative impact of warming on summer carbon uptake in northern ecosystems

Nature Communications, 2018
The impacts of climate change on summer carbon cycling in the northern hemisphere remain poorly resolved. Here the authors use atmospheric CO2 records from Point Barrow (Alaska) to show that summer CO2 drawdown is significantly negatively correlated with

Strong direct and indirect influences of climate change on water yield confirmed by the Budyko framework

Geography and Sustainability, 2021
Research findings concerning the main processes influencing water resources differ substantially, and so the topic remains controversial. Recent studies indicate that the changes in water yield, expressed through the n-parameter of Budyko framework, are ...

Characteristics of Carbon and Water Fluxes over the Alpine Shrub Steppe Ecosystem during Growing Season on the Northern Slope of Qomolangma Region

Gaoyuan qixiang, 2023
Study on carbon and water fluxes of alpine shrub ecosystems on the Qinghai-Xizang （Tibetan） Plateau is crucial to elucidate the carbon balance and water cycle mechanisms of alpine grassland ecosystems in the context of climate change.Based on the ...

Biophysical impacts of northern vegetation changes on seasonal warming patterns

Nature Communications, 2022
The seasonal greening of Northern Hemisphere ecosystems due to extended growing periods and enhanced photosynthetic activity is, via experiments, shown to modify near-surface warming by perturbing land-atmosphere energy exchanges.

Lexical data for the historical comparison of Rgyalrongic languages [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe, 2023
As one of the most morphologically conservative branches of the Sino-Tibetan language family, most of the Rgyalrongic languages are still understudied and poorly understood, not to mention their vulnerable or endangered status.

Discrepant trends in global land-surface and air temperatures controlled by vegetation biophysical feedbacks

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Satellite-based land surface temperature (Ts) with continuous global coverage is increasingly used as a complementary measure for air temperature (Ta), yet whether they observe similar temporal trends remains unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed the
