The dominant role of climate change in determining changes in evapotranspiration in Xinjiang, China from 2001 to 2012 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China has experienced significant land cover and climate change since the beginning of the 21 st century. However, a reasonable simulation of evapotranspiration (ET) and its response to environmental factors are ...

Does Eolian Flux to the Northwest Pacific Ocean Reflect Persistent Asian Interior Aridity on Orbital Timescales?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 2, 28 January 2025.
Abstract Northwest Pacific sedimentary eolian dust flux records have long been used to make direct inferences about Asian interior aridity. However, factors other than aridity can impact dust production rate. We present here an integrated environmental magnetic, electron microscopic, sedimentologic, and geochemical investigation of eolian dust records ...

Active restoration efforts drive community succession and assembly in a desert during the past 53 years

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Regreening efforts in deserts have been implemented globally to combat land degradation and desert expansion, but how they affect above‐ and belowground community succession and assembly processes remains unknown. Here, we examined variations in plant and soil microbial community attributes along a 53‐year restoration chronosequence following ...

The Efficient Integration of Dust and Numerical Weather Prediction for Renewable Energy Applications

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The growing demand for renewable energy underscores the importance of accurate dust forecasting in regions with abundant wind and solar resources. However, leading real‐time global numerical weather prediction (NWP) models often lack dust modules due to computational constraints.
