Climate and vegetation: Simulating the African humid period
Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2009 The outputs of the climate simulated by two General Circulation Models (GCMs), (IPSL and UGAMP) have been used to force a vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) to analyze the Holocene African humid period (AHP) and related vegetation changes over the 18°W-35°E, 5°S-25°N region.

Driving Factors of Recent Vegetation Changes in Hexi Region, Northwest China Based on a New Classification Framework [PDF]
, 2020 Since other factors (soil properties, topography, etc.) under natural conditions are relatively invariant over one or two decades, climate variables (precipitation and temperature) and human activities are the two fundamental factors driving vegetation ...

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Periodical horizontal mixing in river flows with vegetation
PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 1994 Horizontal large-scale eddies are observed at the flood flow in river with vegetation. Velocity and water level fluctuate periodically by these eddies. In this study the experiment is conducted to clear the characteristics of periodical low fluctuation modes in flow.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An edible biohybrid platform triggers nanoplastics (NPs) aging and agglomeration by in situ generating hydroxyl radicals within the intestine. The enlarged NPs are unable to penetrate the intestine and are subsequently excreted. Simultaneously, probiotic biofilms reinforce the intestinal barrier.
