Warming Enhances CO₂ Flux from Saline–Alkali Soils by Intensifying Moisture–Temperature Interactions in the Critical Zone

Land
Saline–alkali soils in arid regions are increasingly recognized as critical yet underrepresented components of the global carbon cycle. However, their CO2 flux dynamics under warming remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted controlled growth-

Characteristics of moisture and salinity of soil in Taklimakan Desert, China

Water Science and Technology, 2012
The Taklimakan desert is known as the largest dunefield in China and also as the world's second largest shifting sand desert. The Tarim Desert Highway, which is the first highway to cross the Taklimakan desert, was built for the purpose of oil and gas resources extraction in the Tarim area, as well as for the development of the southern area of the ...

Reoccurrence of Dust Storms in South Asia and Their Implications for Vegetation Health 南亚沙尘暴的再次出现及其对植被健康的影响

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 362-380, September 2025.
Occurrences of dust storms and long‐distance movement of dust across landscapes is constantly increasing in south Asia. This dust is expected to have profound impact on vegetation health and sustainability as dust may contribute to nutrient budgets of the forest ecosystems, while it could impart various stresses to the plants.

Flood Evolution in the Past 60 Years Revealed by Reconstructed Daily Terrestrial Water Storage Anomalies in China

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites and its successor mission, the GRACE Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) satellites provide a unique capability to monitor terrestrial water storage anomalies (TWSA) and key hydrological variables associated with flood events.

Synchronous Formation and Consistent Provenance Across Different Particle Sizes in Loess Deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract Loess deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) serve as key terrestrial archives of late‐Cenozoic paleoclimate. However, the formation timing and origin of different‐size fractions remain unclear. This study applies the (234U/238U) activity ratio to seven silt‐size fractions (2–63 μm) from the CLP loess to estimate the pre‐deposition ...

Analysis of Sand Dune Migration and Future Trends on the Western Edge of the Kumtag Desert

Land
Sand dune migration, as a typical dynamic process of aeolian geomorphology in arid regions, directly influences regional ecological security and infrastructure development. Focusing on the western edge of the Kumtag Desert, this study uses remote sensing

Exploring the Impact of Dynamic Dust Source on the East Asian Dust Cycle Using WRF‐Chem

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract Dust emission is a prerequisite to accurately describe the physical processes of dust and is closely associated with dust sources; however, the spatial and temporal variation of East Asian dust sources has not been accurately quantified.
