Late Holocene climate and land-use history in the Mongolian Altai Mountains: Combined evidence from palynological, macro-charcoal and tree-ring analyses

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People, 2021
The Mongolian Altai is an ecologically sensitive region in Central Asia where changes in climate and anthropogenic activities have a strong impact on the forest-steppe vegetation.

Interactive impacts of fire and vegetation dynamics on global carbon and water budget using Community Land Model version 4.5 [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2019
Fire plays an important role in terrestrial ecosystems. The burning of biomass affects carbon and water fluxes and vegetation distribution. To understand the effect of interactive processes of fire and ecological succession on surface carbon and water ...

The importance of interactions between snow, permafrost and vegetation dynamics in affecting terrestrial carbon balance in circumpolar regions

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Permafrost dynamics can drastically affect vegetation and soil carbon dynamics in northern high latitudes. Vegetation has significant influences on the energy balance of soil surface by impacting the short-wave radiation, long-wave radiation and surface ...

Vegetation dynamics and dynamic vegetation science* [PDF]

open access: yesActa Botanica Neerlandica, 1996
his contribution presents a review of the development of the study of vegetation dynamics since 1979, in the framework of a jubilee meeting on progress in the study of vegetation. However, an exhaustive review is both impossible and unnecessary.

Steep topography buffers threatened gymnosperm species against anthropogenic pressures in China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
China is one of the most species‐rich countries in the world, harboring many rare gymnosperms. Following recent human‐led loss of forests, China is now experiencing increases in forest cover resulting from efforts of reforestation schemes.

Climate Variations vs. Human Activities: Distinguishing the Relative Roles on Vegetation Dynamics in the Three Karst Provinces of Southwest China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Vegetation in karst areas is crucial for maintaining fragile local ecosystems, driven by climate change and human activities. Southwest China contains the largest continuous karst zone in the world and its vegetation dynamics are more sensitive to ...

The trend shift caused by ecological restoration accelerates the vegetation greening of China’s drylands since the 1980s

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Satellite observations since the early 1980s have revealed a trend of ‘Earth greening’ across global terrestrial ecosystems. Dryland vegetation is more sensitive to climate change and human activities.

Regional Patterns of Vegetation Dynamics and Their Sensitivity to Climate Variability in the Yangtze River Basin

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
To better understand the mechanisms of the hydro-ecological cycle in the changing environments of the Yangtze River Basin (YZRB), it is valuable to investigate vegetation dynamics and their response to climate change.

Drivers and Environmental Impacts of Vegetation Greening in a Semi-Arid Region of Northwest China since 2000

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
The dynamics of terrestrial vegetation have changed a lot due to climate change and direct human interference. Monitoring these changes and understanding the mechanisms driving them are important for better understanding and projecting the Earth system ...

Quantifying the Impacts of Environmental Factors on Vegetation Dynamics over Climatic and Management Gradients of Central Asia

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Currently there is a lack of quantitative information regarding the driving factors of vegetation dynamics in post-Soviet Central Asia. Insufficient knowledge also exists concerning vegetation variability across sub-humid to arid climatic gradients as ...
