  • Thermal changes along the urban-rural continuums in Southeast Asia

    Open AccessYuanhui Zhu, Soe W Myint et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Southeast Asia’s (SEA) rapid urbanization has intensified urban heat effects. While previous studies address urban warming at specific time points, the dynamic relationship between land cover and land use (LCLU) changes and land surface temperature (LST) along urban-rural continuums remains understudied. This study examines LST, LCLU, and NDVI changes across 19 SEA cities of varying urbanization levels from 2000 to 2022 using Landsat images. Resu…

  • Human heat stress could offset potential economic benefits of CO2 fertilization in crop production under a high-emissions scenario

    Open AccessAnton Orlov, Jonas Jägermeyr et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Climate change can significantly impact agriculture, leading to food security challenges. Most previous studies have investigated the direct climate impact on crops while neglecting the impact of heat stress on agricultural labor. Here, we assess the economic consequences of climate impacts on four major crops—maize, soybean, wheat, and rice—for scenarios involving low and high greenhouse gas emissions. Our analysis is based on the output from a …

  • 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…

    Open AccessPierre Friedlingstein, Mike O’Sullivan et al.ARTICLEEarth System Science Data2023

    Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate is critical to better understand the global carbon cycle, support the development of climate policies, and project future climate change. Here we describe and synthesize data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertai…

  • Five years of variability in the global carbon cycle: Comparing an estimate from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 and process-based models

    Open AccessZichong Chen, D N Huntzinger et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Year-to-year variability in CO 2 fluxes can yield insight into climate-carbon cycle relationships, a fundamental yet uncertain aspect of the terrestrial carbon cycle. In this study, we use global observations from NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite for years 2015–2019 and a geostatistical inverse model to evaluate 5 years of interannual variability (IAV) in CO 2 fluxes and its relationships with environmental drivers. OCO-2 la…

  • Evaluation of simulated soil carbon dynamics in Arctic-Boreal ecosystems

    Open AccessD N Huntzinger, Kevin Schaefer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Given the magnitude of soil carbon stocks in northern ecosystems, and the vulnerability of these stocks to climate warming, land surface models must accurately represent soil carbon dynamics in these regions. We evaluate soil carbon stocks and turnover rates, and the relationship between soil carbon loss with soil temperature and moisture, from an ensemble of eleven global land surface models. We focus on the region of NASA’s Arctic-Boreal vulner…

  • Contribution of environmental forcings to US runoff changes for the period 1950–2010

    Open AccessWhitney L Forbes, Jiafu Mao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Runoff in the United States is changing, and this study finds that the measured change is dependent on the geographic region and varies seasonally. Specifically, observed annual total runoff had an insignificant increasing trend in the US between 1950 and 2010, but this insignificance was due to regional heterogeneity with both significant and insignificant increases in the eastern, northern, and southern US, and a greater significant decrease in…

  • Global land carbon sink response to temperature and precipitation varies with Enso phase

    Open AccessYuanyuan Fang, A M Michalak et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Climate variability associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its consequent impacts on land carbon sink interannual variability have been used as a basis for investigating carbon cycle responses to climate variability more broadly, and to inform the sensitivity of the tropical carbon budget to climate change. Past studies have presented opposing views about whether temperature or precipitation is the primary factor driving the …

  • The terrestrial carbon budget of South and Southeast Asia

    Open AccessMatthew Cervarich, Shijie Shu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Accomplishing the objective of the current climate policies will require establishing carbon budget and flux estimates in each region and county of the globe by comparing and reconciling multiple estimates including the observations and the results of top-down atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) inversions and bottom-up dynamic global vegetation models. With this in view, this study synthesizes the carbon source/sink due to net ecosystem productiv…

  • The dominant role of semi-arid ecosystems in the trend and variability of the land CO 2 sink

    Open AccessAnders Ahlström, Michael Raupach et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    The difference is found at the margins The terrestrial biosphere absorbs about a quarter of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, but the amount that they take up varies from year to year. Why? Combining models and observations, Ahlström et al. found that marginal ecosystems—semiarid savannas and low-latitude shrublands—are responsible for most of the variability. Biological productivity in these semiarid regions is water-limited and strong…

  • Disentangling climatic and anthropogenic controls on global terrestrial evapotranspiration trends

    Open AccessJiafu Mao, Wenting Fu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    We examined natural and anthropogenic controls on terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) changes from 1982 to 2010 using multiple estimates from remote sensing-based datasets and process-oriented land surface models. A significant increasing trend of ET in each hemisphere was consistently revealed by observationally-constrained data and multi-model ensembles that considered historic natural and anthropogenic drivers. The climate impacts were simulat…
