  • Inhomogeneous aerosol forcing increasing tropical cyclone intensity in western North Pacific by weakening vertical wind shear

    Open AccessXiaochao Yu, Yadong Lei et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Faced with increasing tropical cyclone (TC) intensity in the western North Pacific (WNP) in recent decades, the simultaneous decrease in vertical wind shear (VWS) has been considered an important contributor. However, anthropogenic contribution to this decreased VWS remains uncertain. Here, we isolate the individual effects of greenhouse gases (GHS), aerosols, natural forcings, and internal climate variability on the decreased VWS over the WNP us…

  • Impacts of terrestrial vegetation on surface ozone in China

    Open AccessYadong Lei, Xu Yue et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Despite many efforts to control anthropogenic sources, high ambient ozone (O 3 ) concentrations remain a serious air pollution problem in China. Terrestrial vegetation can remove surface O 3 through dry deposition but also enhance surface O 3 through biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions. However, the net impacts of terrestrial vegetation on surface O 3 remains unclear. Here, we perform simulations using a chemistry-vegetation coupl…

  • Co-benefits of carbon neutrality in enhancing and stabilizing solar and wind energy

  • Mitigating ozone damage to ecosystem productivity through sectoral and regional emission controls

    Open AccessYadong Lei, Xu Yue et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The land ecosystems of China are estimated to provide an important sink for the increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), but are undermined by severe ozone (O 3 ) pollution. Mitigation of O 3 damage to ecosystems remains a challenge considering that O 3 precursors are emitted from a wide range of anthropogenic sectors and O 3 formations are also affected by regional transport. Here, we combine chemical transport and dynamic vegetation models…

  • Avoided population exposure to extreme heat under two scenarios of global carbon neutrality by 2050 and 2060

    Open AccessYadong Lei, Zhili Wang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    To mitigate global warming and the resulting climate risk, many countries have accelerated the optimization of industrial structures and mixture of energy type in an attempt to achieve carbon neutrality by the second half of the 21st century. Here, we present the first assessment of the quantitative benefits of population exposure to extreme heat (defined by the heat index) during 2040–2049 under two scenarios of global carbon neutrality by 2060 …

  • Near-real-time monitoring of global CO2 emissions reveals the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessZhu Liu, Philippe Ciais et al.ARTICLENature Communications2020

    The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting human activities, and in turn energy use and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. Here we present daily estimates of country-level CO 2 emissions for different sectors based on near-real-time activity data. The key result is an abrupt 8.8% decrease in global CO 2 emissions (−1551 Mt CO 2 ) in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The magnitude of this decrease is larger than during previous ec…
