A recent study published in Nature has explored how the South Asian Summer Monsoon (SASM) responds to warming under six climate scenarios, spanning from the past to the future. Led by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the study develops a unified framework based on thermodynamic (moisture-driven) and dynamic (wind-driven) processes that govern changes in the SASM, suggesting that insights from past warm climates can inform our understanding of the future SASM.
A recent study led by Prof. LI Yaoming from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has identified significant imbalances in farmland ecosystem services across Central Asia, posing substantial challenges to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in the region.
A new study led by researchers from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed significant increases in global vegetation growth under different climate scenarios.
An international research team studying fossilized oyster shells has revealed substantial annual temperature variation in sea water during the Early Cretaceous. The finding overturns the assumption that Earth’s greenhouse periods are marked by universally warmer and uniformly stable temperatures.
A new study reveals that changes in plant life played a crucial role in accelerating major climate shifts during the Late Miocene, a period that lasted from 11.6 to 5.3 million years ago.
A recent study shows that marine oxygen levels were crucial to the evolution of Early Paleozoic trilobite body size, suggesting that oxygen may have influenced the evolution of other animals’ body size as well.
