Duration of exposure to compound daytime-nighttime high temperatures and changes in population exposure in China under global warming
Global warming has led to the enhancement of diurnal (daytime-nighttime) compound heat waves, which can severely affect the population’s physical health and productive life; this is particularly the case for vulnerable populations that are more susceptible to psychological and physiological harm with the future normalization of heatwave scenarios. In this study, we attributed the changes in population exposure under diurnal compound high temperat…

Quantifying the cooling effect of urban parks and identifying their main internal influencing factors is important for improving the urban thermal environment, achieving maximum cooling benefits, and improving urban sustainability. In this study, we extracted data frobut this is often unrealisticm 28 urban pa…
From the coast to the interior
It is well established that nighttime light brightness value, which is measured from satellites, correlates with economic prosperity across the globe. Researchers have diverged over whether economic factors cluster in coastal areas or move to interior areas. By using nighttime light data and applying the random forest algorithm to measure the proportion of global “near regions” GDP, it was seen that global GDP decreased from 67.25% in 2000 to 63.…
Assessment of changes in environmental factors in a tourism-oriented Island
Tourism development has influenced industrial structure changes and has become a major driving force for China's new urbanization. However, the development will negatively impact natural resources and the ecological environment and will become an essential driving factor for land use change. Therefore, understanding the impact of tourism urbanization is crucial for sustainable local development. This study selected the Dachangshan Island in the C…

Multi-scale analysis of urbanization and gross primary productivity during 2000–2018 in Beijing, China
Urban vegetation experiences multiple natural and human impacts during urbanization, including land conversion, local environmental factors, and human management, which may bring positive or negative impacts on vegetation gross primary productivity (GPP) at multiple scales. In this study, we analyzed the spatial-temporal changes of GPP and three urbanization factors: land urbanization (impervious surface coverage), population urbanization (Popula…
Variations of Urban Thermal Risk with Local Climate Zones
Due to the differences in land cover and natural surroundings within cities, residents in various regions face different thermal risks. Therefore, this study combined multi-source data to analyze the relationship between urban heat risk and local climate zones (LCZ). We found that in downtown Shenyang, the building-type LCZ was mainly found in urban centers, while the natural- type LCZ was mainly found in suburbs. Heat risk was highest in urban c…

While analyzing the heat island intensity, the neural network training method was used to obtain temperature data with good temp…
Exploring seasonal diurnal surface temperature variation in cities based on ECOSTRESS data
High urban temperatures affect city livability and may be harmful for inhabitants. Analyzing spatial and temporal differences in surface temperature and the thermal impact of urban morphological heterogeneity can promote strategies to improve the insulation of the urban thermal environment. Therefore, we analyzed the diurnal variation of land surface temperature (LST) and seasonal differences in the Fifth Ring Road area of Beijing from the perspe…
Warming and cooling effects of local climate zones on urban thermal environment
Understanding the thermal characteristics and contribution ranking of local climate zones (LCZs) is essential since they can help in maintaining environmental harmony. However, previous studies only considered independent effects and could not analyze the combined effects of LCZ on land surface temperature (LST). In this study, we propose a new method to establish an interaction model between LCZs. Five first-level grids with different scales fro…

Flying Over an Infected Landscape
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus persists in Asia, posing a threat to poultry, wild birds, and humans. Previous work in Southeast Asia demonstrated that HPAI H5N1 risk is related to domestic ducks and people. Other studies discussed the role of migratory birds in the long distance spread of HPAI H5N1. However, the interplay between local persistence and long-distance dispersal has never been studied. We expand previous geospati…
Risks of Avian Influenza Transmission in Areas of Intensive Free-Ranging Duck Production with Wild Waterfowl
Joint China-US Call for Employing a Transdisciplinary Approach to Emerging Infectious Diseases
In the spring of 2013, a newly pathogenic H7N9 influenza virus emerged in people in China, likely associated with wild and domestic birds (Kageyama et al. 2013). Marking the exact scenario that public health experts had feared—people were being infected, getting sick, and dying without the source of the virus being rapidly and definitively identified. In the absence of a clear understanding of the mode of transmission, early control of this epide…
Non-uniform seasonal warming regulates vegetation greening and atmospheric CO 2 amplification over northern lands
The enhanced vegetation growth by climate warming plays a pivotal role in amplifying the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CO 2 at northern lands (>50N) since 1960s. However, the correlation between vegetation growth, temperature and seasonal amplitude of atmospheric CO 2 concentration have become elusive with the slowed increasing trend of vegetation growth and weakened temperature control on CO 2 uptake since late 1990s. Here, based on in situ atmo…

Flash drought development and cascading impacts associated with the 2010 Russian heatwave
The 2010 western Russian heatwave was characterized by historically high surface temperatures that led to devastating impacts on the environment, economy, and society. Recent studies have attributed a quasi-stationary upper level ridge, sensible heat advection, and land-atmosphere temperature coupling as the primary components for the development of the heatwave event. The results in this study reveal that rapid drought intensification occurred p…
Estimating site-specific optimum air temperature and assessing its effect on the photosynthesis of grasslands in mid- to high-latitudes
The effect of air temperature on photosynthesis is important for the terrestrial carbon cycle. The optimum air temperature for photosynthesis is one of the major parameters in data-driven and process-based photosynthesis models that estimate the gross primary production (GPP) of vegetation under a changing climate. To date, most models use the biome-specific optimum air temperature ( T o p t − b ) parameter. To what degree will the site-specific …
