A new study led by Prof. BAO Anming from the Institute of Xinjiang Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences warns of a dramatic rise in heatwave exposure across Central Asia's croplands by the end of the 21st century.
Researchers reveal that compositional rock anomalies within oceanic plates—formed by ancient tectonic activity—can alter the speed and trajectory of these plates as they plunge into Earth's mantle at subduction zones.
A recent study led by Prof. CHEN Yaning from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has found that climate warming is increasing flood risks from rain-on-snow events in High Mountain Asia. The researchers reveal that High Mountain Asia experiences an average of 22.4 ROS days per year.
Researchers led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture has uncovered how both the size of rock outcrops and their proximity to surrounding soils significantly influence key soil processes in mountain ecosystems.
A research team led by Prof. YUAN Xing from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has introduced a flash drought resistance index. They utilized multi-source remote sensing vegetation data, hydro-meteorological reanalysis datasets, and machine learning techniques to evaluate vegetation resistance to flash droughts from 2001 to 2022.
A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a fossil acanthocephalan, Juracanthocephalus, from the 160-million-year-old Daohugou Biota in Inner Mongolia, China.
