Climate and Society in Chinese History
This article reviews 292 studies, published between 1980 and 2024, on the relationship between climate change and human history in China ( c . 770 bce –1949 ce ), in both Chinese and English. We synthesize key findings, highlight debates and consensus, and identify future research directions, focusing on the causal links between changes in climate and human societies. Despite significant progress, challenges remain, including uneven temporal and …

Generating Urban Road Networks with Conditional Diffusion Models
The auto-generation of urban roads can greatly improve efficiency and productivity in urban planning and designing. However, it has also raised concerns amongst researchers over the past decade. In this paper, we present an image-based urban road network generation framework using conditional diffusion models. We first trained a diffusion model capable of generating road images with similar characteristics to the ground truth using four context f…
Friction or cooperation? Boosting the global economy and fighting climate change in the post-pandemic era
In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, the world faces a choice between trade protection and cooperation. However, current literature provides very little information on the benefit or loss of trade friction or cooperation on global economy and climate mitigation. This study applied the Global Trade Analysis Project model to assess the impacts of trade friction on global economic recovery and climate change. The results indicated that international t…
Increasing meteorological drought under climate change reduces terrestrial ecosystem productivity and carbon storage
Varying climatic-social-geographical patterns shape the conflict risk at regional and global scales
Given that armed conflict has been seriously impeding sustainable development, reducing the frequency and intensity of armed conflicts has become an explicit goal and a common theme of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Determining the factors shaping armed conflict risks in different regions could support formulating region-specific strategies to prevent armed conflicts. A machine learning approach was applied to reveal the drivers of, and …
Carbon neutrality of China’s passenger car sector requires coordinated short-term behavioral changes and long-term technological solutions
The important role of soil moisture in controlling autumn phenology of herbaceous plants in the Inner Mongolian steppe
Autumn phenology variation in temperate grassland is a direct indicator of land degradation, and a phenology‐based model has been used to simulate human‐induced land degradation. It is important to reveal how environmental factors influence autumn phenology of herbaceous plants. In this study, we examined the effects of temperature, photoperiod, and soil moisture on the leaf withering date (LWD) of four herbaceous species ( Xanthium sibiricum , P…
Spatial difference of climate change effects on wheat protein concentration in China
Climate change effects on global food security are not only limited to its effects on the yield of cereals but also their nutritional quality. However, climate change effects on crop nutritional quality, particularly grain protein concentration (PC) on a large geographical scale have not yet been quantified in China. For this purpose, we assessed the effects of three key climatic factors (temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation) on wheat …
Long-term temperature and sea-level rise stabilization before and beyond 2100
As the largest emitter in the world, China recently pledged to reach a carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060, which could accelerate the progress of mitigating negative climate change effects. In this study, we used the Minimum Complexity Earth Simulator and a semi-empirical statistical model to quantify the global mean temperature and sea-level rise (SLR) response under a suite of emission pathways that are constructed to cov…
Satellite evidence on the trade-offs of the food-water–air quality nexus over the breadbasket of India
Satellite-observed decrease in the sensitivity of spring phenology to climate change under high nitrogen deposition
Spring phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and has substantial impacts on the carbon cycle. The global N cycle has been greatly disturbed by anthropogenic activities resulting in altered atmospheric N deposition worldwide. Research has been focused on the changes in the spring phenology and its covariations with climatic factors. However, the influences of N deposition on spring phenology have not been well documented to date. He…
Volcanic eruptions, successive poor harvests and social resilience over southwest China during the 18–19th century
Volcanic eruptions, climate changes and their influences on crop harvests and social development are of increasing concern in science communities. Using a dataset of crop harvest scores of southwest China from 1730 to 1910, which was derived from the memorials to the emperors in the Qing Dynasty of China, reconstructed climate proxies and the chronology of large volcanic eruptions occurring between 10°S and 15°N, we analysed possible relationship…
Contributions of ecological programs to vegetation restoration in arid and semiarid China
Over the past four decades, large-scale ecological programs, including the ‘Great Green Wall Program’ (1978–present), ‘Grain for Green Program’ (1999–present), ‘Grassland Ecological Protection Program’ (2000–present), and ‘Beijing-Tianjin Sandstorm Source Control Project’ (2002–present), were launched to restore vegetation, to combat desertification, and to control dust storms in arid and semiarid China. The gross investments of these programs ha…
Winter temperatures of southern China reconstructed from phenological cold/warm events recorded in historical documents over the past 500 years
Reconstruction of high‐resolution climate data over China from rainfall and snowfall records in the Qing Dynasty
In recent years, researchers studying historical climates have given an increasing amount of attention to the Yu‐Xue‐Fen‐Cun record of the Qing Dynasty of China. These records play an important role in the quantitative reconstruction of the climate from the past 300 years in China due to their uniform recording formats and measurement methods. As a result of collective effort, methods for climate reconstruction are constantly improving, and regio…
Impacts of historic climate variability and land use change on winter wheat climatic productivity in the North China Plain during 1980–2010
European summer temperatures since Roman times
The spatial context is criticalwhen assessing present-day climate anomalies, attributing them to potential forcings and making statements regarding their frequency and severity in a long-term perspective. Recent international initiatives have expanded the number of high-quality proxy-records and developed new statistical reconstruction methods. These advances allow more rigorous regional past temperature reconstructions and, in turn, the possibil…
Determinants of island tourism development
Islands possess their own patterns of spatial and temporal evolution as tourist destinations. Taking Dachangshan Island as an example, two key stages were identified: a 'landscape-oriented' period from 2002 to 2009, and a 'background' stage from 2009 to 2012. Co-existing with both periods was changing spatial and land-use patterns of expansion and intensification. Using spatial mapping techniques, it was found that tourist resources were found to…

Warming/cooling effects of cropland greenness changes during 1982–2006 in the North China Plain
This study analysed the changes in cropland greenness during 1982–2006 in the North China Plain (NCP) and investigated the warming/cooling effects of the greenness changes. The results show that while spring cropland greenness increased, early summer cropland greenness substantially decreased from 1982 to 2006. In contrast to the cooling and wetting effects of the greenness increase in spring, the greenness reduction in early summer had warming a…

Early millet use in northern China
It is generally understood that foxtail millet and broomcorn millet were initially domesticated in Northern China where they eventually became the dominant plant food crops. The rarity of older archaeological sites and archaeobotanical work in the region, however, renders both the origins of these plants and their processes of domestication poorly understood. Here we present ancient starch grain assemblages recovered from cultural deposits, inclu…
