Urbanization reshapes soil microbial diversity
With the evolution of urban development stages, the response of plant start of season to extreme cold shifts from early to delayed
Synergies or trade-offs between surface urban heat island and hot extreme
The imprint of urbanization on PM2.5 concentrations in China
A global analysis of urbanization effects on amphibian richness
Urban vertical profiles of three most urbanized Chinese cities and the spatial coupling with horizontal urban expansion
Discover the desirable landscape structure for mitigating urban heat
Urban growth rates, trajectories, and multi-dimensional disparities in China
Urbanization-induced environmental changes strongly affect wetland soil bacterial community composition and diversity
Soil microbial communities potentially serve as indicators for their responses to changes in various ecosystems at scales from a region to the globe. However, changes in wetland soil bacterial communities and how they are related to urbanization intensities remains poorly understood. Here, we collected 60 soil samples along urbanization intensity gradients from 20 wetlands. We measured a range of environmental factors and characterized bacterial …
Contemporary Urban Expansion in the First Fastest Growing Metropolitan Region of China
Contemporary urbanization in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) Urban Agglomeration is the epitome of China’s urbanization process as the PRD is the first fastest growing metropolitan region of China. Here, we mapped and quantified the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban expansion for seven major cities in the PRD between 1980 and 2015, using remotely sensed data integrated with landscape metrics, urban growth form, and rank clocks. Results showed that rap…
Comparing the spatial and temporal dynamics of urban expansion in Guangzhou and Shenzhen from 1975 to 2015
Organic carbon storage change in China's urban landfills from 1978–2014
China has produced increasingly large quantities of waste associated with its accelerated urbanization and economic development and deposited these wastes into landfills, potentially sequestering carbon. However, the magnitude of the carbon storage in China’s urban landfills and its spatial and temporal change remain unclear. Here, we estimate the total amount of organic carbon (OC) stored in China's urban landfills between 1978 and 2014 using a …
Prevalent vegetation growth enhancement in urban environment
Significance Cities experiencing elevated temperature (i.e., urban “heat island” warming), CO 2 , and nitrogen deposition decades ahead of the projected average global change are regarded as the “harbingers” of the future global change. It is for this reason that cities have been regarded as ideal natural laboratories for global change studies and particularly valuable to elucidate the potential responses of other nonurban ecosystems to future cl…
A comparative study of urban expansion in Beijing, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang over the past three decades
Surface urban heat island in China's 32 major cities
Land use and carbon dynamics in the southeastern United States from 1992 to 2050
Land use and land cover change (LUCC) plays an important role in determining the spatial distribution, magnitude, and temporal change of terrestrial carbon sources and sinks. However, the impacts of LUCC are not well understood and quantified over large areas. The goal of this study was to quantify the spatial and temporal patterns of carbon dynamics in various terrestrial ecosystems in the southeastern United States from 1992 to 2050 using a pro…
Impact of Impoldering and Lake Restoration on Land-cover Changes in Dongting Lake Area, Central Yangtze
Human activities can have a remarkable effect on land-cover patterns over time. This study characterized long-term (1930s-1998) land-cover changes in Dongting Lake area in the Central Yangtze River, China, by digitalizing historical topographical maps for the 1930s and 1950s and interpreting satellite remote sensing data for 1978, 1989, and 1998. The study indicates that land-cover patterns in Dongting Lake area have been greatly altered by impol…

Changes in Forest Biomass Carbon Storage in China Between 1949 and 1998
The location and mechanisms responsible for the carbon sink in northern mid-latitude lands are uncertain. Here, we used an improved estimation method of forest biomass and a 50-year national forest resource inventory in China to estimate changes in the storage of living biomass between 1949 and 1998. Our results suggest that Chinese forests released about 0.68 petagram of carbon between 1949 and 1980, for an annual emission rate of 0.022 petagram…
