Protracted intercontinental aridification preserved within the early Late Cretaceous strata of the Eastern Gobi Basin, Mongolia

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 147-185, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Mongolia's Eastern and Western Gobi Basins preserve a globally significant record of Cretaceous terrestrial vertebrates, yet their biostratigraphic correlations are complicated by a complex geological history. The Eastern Gobi Basin, a northeast‐southwest trending fault‐bounded rift system, includes several minor sub‐basins with distinct ...

Disentangling seed availability and establishment filters at alpine treelines through a decade‐long field manipulation

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 12, Page 3830-3844, December 2025.
Treeline advance under warming occurs only when multiple filters align—adequate seed supply, favourable microclimatic windows, moderated herbivory and shrub effects that remain facilitative rather than competitive. Abstract Climate warming is expected to increase upslope shifts of alpine treelines globally.

Tropical Pacific Zonal Temperature Gradient Intensified by the Tibetan Plateau Surface Darkening

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is experiencing substantial changes in land properties, particularly a decrease in albedo, known as “TP surface darkening.” These changes have profound impacts on global climate, but whether and how TP darkening influence Pacific climate variability is unknown.

Traditional knowledge promotes the protection of large old trees: A case from China's richest biocultural diversity area

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2700-2713, November 2025.
Abstract Large old trees are important ecological entities in human settlements, providing cultural values and ecological services that are threatened by current and future changes in global climate, land use and disturbance regimes. Some studies suggest incorporating social and cultural significance into the conservation of large old trees.

Day‐to‐Day Temperature Variability in Meteorological Observations and Reanalysis Data Over China

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Temperature variability on the synoptic scale is most directly related to human perception, and requires more attention from scientists and researchers. This study quantifies the day‐to‐day temperature variability (DTD) as the absolute value of the difference between the air temperatures from two consecutive days, and analyzes the ...
