As global warming continues, heat stress events are expected to increase and negatively affect rice production. Spatiotemporal changes in single-season rice exposure to heat stress were explored along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River...
Monitoring extreme climate events is of great importance, mainly due to increasingly severe impacts of extreme climate on nature and humanity. However, the characteristics of extreme climate events, especially extreme precipitation, frequently show c...
River–lake systems are essential for sustaining ecosystems and human livelihoods. However, the complexity and variability of large river–lake systems, coupled with characteristic differences in water bodies across regions, have made quant...
Remote sensing has frequently been employed to monitor extreme climatic events, especially droughts, by identifying the anomalies of vegetation activity from the regional to global scale. However, limited research has addressed the performance of rem...
Severe meteorological drought is generally considered to lead to crop damage and loss. In this study, we created a new standard value by averaging the values distributed in the middle 30–70% instead of the traditional mean value, and we proposed a ne...
Spring frost damage (SFD), defined as the disaster during the period of newly formed tea buds in spring caused by lower temperature and frost damage, is a particular challenge for tea plants (Camellia sinensis), whose capacity to adapt to extreme wea...
Global warming weakened the summer monsoon and increased the evaporation, leading to more contribution of local evaporation moisture to the local precipitation for the monsoon areas. However, the descriptions of the contribution of the local moisture...
Urban engineering construction represents the physical construction aspects of urban areas and is recognized as an important carrier for green city. With the rapid pace of urbanization, the conventional construction mode is no longer sufficient to me...
The Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yangtze River (MLRYR) region, which has humid subtropical climate conditions and unique plum rain season, is characterized by a simultaneous high-frequency urban flooding and reduction in groundwater levels. Retrof...
With climate warming, the global precipitation patterns have undergone significant changes, which will profoundly impact flood–drought disaster regimes and socioeconomic development in key regions of human activity worldwide. The convergence zo...
Cropland ecosystems are significant emission sources of N2O, but a limited number of studies have focused on the impact of extreme weather events on N2O fluxes from cropland. This present study integrated field observations and model simulations to e...
Aquatic vegetation (AV) forms the structural and functional basis of lake ecosystems, providing irreplaceable ecological functions such as water self-purification and the sustenance of biodiversity. Under the “Yangtze River’s Great Protec...
Along with climate warming, extreme heat events have become more frequent, severe, and seriously threaten rice production. Precisely evaluating rice heat levels based on heat duration and a cumulative intensity index dominated by temperature and humi...
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most dominant economic plants in China and plays an important role in agricultural economic benefits. Spring tea is the most popular drink due to Chinese drinking habits. Although the global temperature is genera...
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a global cereal disease caused by a complex of Fusarium species. Both Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum are the causal agents of FHB in China. F. asiaticum is the predominant species in the Middle–Lower Reaches...
Extreme climate events frequently have more severe effects on terrestrial vegetation activity than long-term changes in climate averages. However, changes in extreme climate events as well as their potential risk on vegetation activity are still poor...
Many previous studies have reported that atmospheric circulation anomalies are generally the direct cause of extreme high-temperature (EHT). However, the atmospheric circulation anomalies of EHT days with different humidity and the differences betwee...
The coordinated development of atmospheric pollution and socio-economic growth plays a core role in the sustainable development of cities and regions. The relationship between socio-economic growth and air pollution can be described using decoupling...
Monitoring drought precisely and evaluating drought effects quantitatively can establish a scientific foundation for understanding drought. Although solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) can detect the drought stress in advance, the performanc...
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, jointly developed by NASA and several international collaboration agencies, aims to achieve high-resolution two-dimensional observations of global surface water. Equipped with the advan...
