Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology have shed light on understanding the driving mechanisms of the uniqueness of plant species composition in different life forms.
A research team led by Professor ZHANG Yuanming from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied the impact of moss mortality on desert soil environments.
The latest CropWatch Bulletin revealed the landscape of crop production amidst climate extremes based on the most recent remote sensing, meteorological, and ground observation data from October 2023 to January 2024.
A study published in Science of The Total Environment revealed that precipitation and potential evapotranspiration have increased synchronously across 34 major river basins worldwide from 1901 to 2021, and the dominance of potential evapotranspiration has resulted in a gradual intensification of meteorological drought.
Prof. LI Lujun's team from the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology focused on black soils in northeastern agricultural fields. Using microcosm-controlled experiments and 13C stable isotope tracing technology, they conducted an in-depth investigation of the effects of soil temperature and moisture, as well as their interaction, on the priming effect and temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter.
Researchers from China and Japan have discovered distinct characteristics of the lower mantle flow field. They investigated seismic anisotropy in the upper part of the lower mantle beneath the Philippine Sea Plate and found that the ancient lower mantle flow field is still preserved there.
