A new study by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics underscores the significant role that soil moisture plays in influencing temperature extremes, especially in such a sensitive and unique region as the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau. The study’s findings enhance our understanding of heatwaves in high-altitude, cold regions.
Recently, the research team led by Prof. ZHANG Guangtao of the Jiaozhou Bay Station at the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), examined the comprehensive impacts of BPA on the survival rates, growth patterns, and reproductive capabilities of the globally ubiquitous marine appendicularian, Oikopleura dioica, at environmentally relevant concentrations.
Recently, researchers led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences quantified the relative importance of the spatial variation and controlling factors of runoff and sediment yield (SY) in different karst watersheds in southwest China.
Prof. LI Qiuli’s Lab at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) has recently identified three volcanic glass beads from lunar soil samples collected by the Chang’e-5 mission. Their research shows that the beads were formed 123±15 million years ago (Ma), thus representing the youngest lunar volcanism confirmed by radioisotope dating so far.
A research group led by Prof. SUN Xiaobing from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a method for accurately mapping paddy rice cultivation in Anhui province, combined annual phenological features with Sentinel-1/2 imagery, and leveraged satellite remote sensing and machine learning to enhance agricultural monitoring.
A recent study by researchers at the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has shed new light on how temperate forests respond to these changes. By understanding the role of ECM fungi in helping trees cope with drought, scientists can develop strategies to promote forest regeneration and positive succession in the face of climate change.
