  • Global spatially explicit carbon emissions from land-use change over the past six decades (1961–2020)

    Open AccessZhangcai Qin, Yakun Zhu et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Land-use change (LUC) is a major source of global anthropogenic carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. However, current estimates of LUC-induced emissions vary widely with differences in data and models, making it challenging to identify and manage emissions hotspots by location and LUC activity. Here, we estimated spatially explicit carbon fluxes associated with global major gross land-use transitions based on a new bookkeeping mode…

  • Increased harvested carbon of cropland in China

    Open AccessPeiyang Ren, Daju Wang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Crop harvested carbon (HC) is one of the most important components of the carbon cycle in cropland ecosystems, with a significant impact on the carbon budget of croplands. China is one of the most important crop producers, however, it is still unknown on the spatial and temporal variations of HC. This study collected statistical data on crop production at the province and county levels in China for all ten crop types from 1981 to 2020 and analyze…

  • Critical needs to close monitoring gaps in pan-tropical wetland CH 4 emissions

    Open AccessQing Zhu, Kunxiaojia Yuan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Global wetlands are the largest and most uncertain natural source of atmospheric methane (CH 4 ). The FLUXNET-CH 4 synthesis initiative has established a global network of flux tower infrastructure, offering valuable data products and fostering a dedicated community for the measurement and analysis of methane flux data. Existing studies using the FLUXNET-CH 4 Community Product v1.0 have provided invaluable insights into the drivers of ecosystem-t…

  • How large is the mitigation potential of natural climate solutions in China

    Open AccessDaju Wang, Yuanqiao Li et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    China is facing a huge challenge in achieving its carbon neutrality goal by 2060 given that it is currently one of the world’s largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters and has set a very short timeline for going from peak emissions to carbon neutrality. Natural climate solutions (NCS) that protect, manage, and restore ecosystems have shown substantial potential for increasing carbon sinks or reducing GHG emissions to offset fossil fuel CO 2 emission…

  • Animal waste use and implications to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in the United States

    Open AccessZhangcai Qin, Shiyu Deng et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The increasing production of manure is a challenge for livestock management systems as well as the global environment. Being traditionally, and still dominantly, used as fertilizers, land application of manure could preserve soil fertility and improve soil carbon sequestration. However, manure application also increases nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions that might outweigh the benefits of carbon gains. Here we quantify soil carbon change and greenh…

  • Soil indigenous nutrients increase the resilience of maize yield to climatic warming in China

    Open AccessXi Deng, Yao Huang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Climate warming leads to crop yield loss. Although investigations have shown the region-specific effect of climate warming on maize yield in China, the determinants of this region-specific effect are poorly known. Using county-level data from 1980 to 2010 for China, we investigated the dependence of yield change under climate warming on soil indigenous nutrients. Analysis of the data indicated an average decrease of 2.6% in maize yield for 1 °C w…

  • Increased atmospheric vapor pressure deficit reduces global vegetation growth

    Open AccessWenping Yuan, Yi Zheng et al.ARTICLEScience Advances2019

    Global vegetation greening trend stalled after the late 1990s due to increased atmospheric water demand.

  • Biofuel, land and water

    Open AccessQianlai Zhuang, Zhangcai Qin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    The productive cellulosic crops switchgrass and Miscanthus are considered as viable biofuel sources. To meet the 2022 national biofuel target mandate, actions must be taken, e.g., maize cultivation must be intensified and expanded, and other biofuel crops (switchgrass and Miscanthus ) must be cultivated. This raises questions on the use efficiencies of land and water; to date, the demand on these resources to meet the national biofuel target has …
