  • Comparing process-based models with the inventory approach to predict CH 4 emission of livestock enteric fermentation

    Open AccessJianan Zhang, Lan Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Livestock production is the largest anthropogenic methane (CH 4 ) source globally over the decades. Enteric fermentation of ruminants is responsible for the majority of global livestock CH 4 emissions. Both inventory-based models (IvtMs) and process-based models (PcMs) are extensively used to assess the livestock CH 4 emission dynamics. However, the model performance and the associated uncertainty have not been well quantified and understood, whi…

  • Long-term changes of water flow, water temperature and heat flux of two largest arctic rivers of European Russia, Northern Dvina and Pechora

    Open AccessА Г Георгиади, Pavel GroismanARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The phases of long-lasting (more than 10–15 years) increased and decreased water flow, water temperature and heat flux values in the Northern Dvina River and the Pechora River were studied for the observation period from the 1930s to 2020. To distinguish between different phases, statistical homogeneity tests and normalized cumulative deviation curves were used. Generally, the identified phases displayed statistically significant differences betw…

At the present time, the ADB is confronted with a unique set of environmental and socioeconomic changes including w…

  • The problem of storage of solid waste in permafrost

    Open AccessValery I Grebenets, Vasily A Tolmanov et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The specifics of solid waste storage in permafrost were analyzed. The main types of impact of the waste on the natural environment and frozen soils were determined as mechanical, physicochemical, load, and thermal. The research allowed us to define eight main types of waste storage in the permafrost zone, which were different both in terms of waste accumulation and in terms of their impact on the environment in general and the permafrost in parti…

  • The asymmetric impact of abundant preceding rainfall on heat stress in low latitudes

    Open AccessXingcai Liu, Qiuhong Tang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    In addition to high temperature, high humidity can have significant consequences on thermal comfort of human beings. The co-occurrence of high temperature and high humidity (so-called 'oppressive hot days') often results in heat stress events, but the extent to which it is affected by preceding surface moisture has not been fully understood to date. In this study, we examine the relations between preceding 3-month standardized precipitation index…

  • Dryland belt of Northern Eurasia: Contemporary environmental changes and their consequences

    Open AccessPavel Groisman, Olga Bulygina et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The dryland belt (DLB) in Northern Eurasia is the largest contiguous dryland on Earth. During the last century, changes here have included land use change (e.g. expansion of croplands and cities), resource extraction (e.g. coal, ores, oil, and gas), rapid institutional shifts (e.g. collapse of the Soviet Union), climatic changes, and natural disturbances (e.g. wildfires, floods, and dust storms). These factors intertwine, overlap, and sometimes m…

  • Quantitative assessment of carbon sequestration reduction induced by disturbances in temperate Eurasian steppe

    Open AccessYizhao Chen, Weimin Ju et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    The temperate Eurasian steppe (TES) is a region where various environmental, social, and economic stresses converge. Multiple types of disturbance exist widely across the landscape, and heavily influence carbon cycling in this region. However, a current quantitative assessment of the impact of disturbances on carbon sequestration is largely lacking. In this study, we combined the boreal ecosystem productivity simulator (BEPS), the Shiyomi grazing…

  • Spatially distinct effects of preceding precipitation on heat stress over eastern China

    Open AccessXingcai Liu, Qiuhong Tang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    In many terrestrial regions, higher than usual surface temperatures are associated with (or are even induced by) surface moisture deficits. When in the warm season temperatures become anomalously high, their extreme values affect human beings causing heat stress. Besides increased temperature, rising humidity may also have substantial implications for bodily thermal comfort. However, the effects of surface moisture on heat stress, when considerin…

  • Recent changes in the frequency of freezing precipitation in North America and Northern Eurasia

    Open AccessPavel Ya Groisman, Pavel Groisman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Freezing rain and freezing drizzle events represent a critical feature of many regions of the world. Even at low intensities, these events often result in natural hazards that cause damage to housing, communication lines, and other man-made infrastructure. These events usually occur near the 0 °C isotherm. In a changing climate, this isotherm will not disappear, but its position in space and time will likely change as will the geography of freezi…
