A research team led by Prof. QI Shengwen from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted fixed-funnel and rotating-drum experiments to measure the angle of repose, a key parameter reflecting the flowability of granular materials. The results showed that Chang'e-6 soil has a significantly higher angle of repose than near-side samples, exhibiting flow behavior characteristic of cohesive soils.
Researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have presented a two-century-long reconstruction of summer relative humidity for the southern China's Central Water Tower (CCWT). The reconstruction relies on high-resolution tree-ring δ18O records.
Climate change is accelerating the reorganization of river-lake systems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, reshaping hydrological and ecological processes in the "Asian Water Tower". A new study led by Prof. LU Shanlong from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals the Zonag-Yanhu drainage basin, once isolated, has undergone rapid transformation since 2019, when it connected to the headwaters of the Yangtze River.
A research team led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered how multitrophic organisms adapt to phosphorus (P) limitation in subtropical ecosystems. Their findings shed light on strategies to alleviate P limitation in fragile subtropical ecosystems.
Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered how soil food webs promote the transformation and storage of photosynthetic carbon in farmlands, offering new insights into farmland carbon sequestration.
A research team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an "All Flow Directions" (AFD) scheme. This innovation allows weather models to calculate the shape and steepness of mountain terrain continuously for any wind direction, eliminating the "jump" of traditional models and providing a far more realistic simulation of how wind interacts with the ground.
