  • Diel, seasonal, and inter-annual variation in carbon dioxide effluxes from lakes and reservoirs

    Open AccessMałgorzata Gołub, Nikaan Koupaei‐Abyazani et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Accounting for temporal changes in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) effluxes from freshwaters remains a challenge for global and regional carbon budgets. Here, we synthesize 171 site-months of flux measurements of CO 2 based on the eddy covariance method from 13 lakes and reservoirs in the Northern Hemisphere, and quantify dynamics at multiple temporal scales. We found pronounced sub-annual variability in CO 2 flux at all sites. By accounting for diel vari…

  • Sustainability challenges for the social-environmental systems across the Asian Drylands Belt

    Open AccessJiquan Chen, Ranjeet John et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    This paper synthesizes the contemporary challenges for the sustainability of the social-environmental system (SES) across a geographically, environmentally, and geopolitically diverse region—the Asian Drylands Belt (ADB). This region includes 18 political entities, covering 10.3% of global land area and 30% of total global drylands. At the present time, the ADB is confronted with a unique set of environmental and socioeconomic changes including w…

  • Non-climatic component provoked substantial spatiotemporal changes of carbon and water use efficiency on the Mongolian Plateau

    Open AccessGang Dong, Fangyuan Zhao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Understanding the joint impact of anthropologic and climatic changes on ecosystem function and dynamics is among the frontiers in global environmental change studies. Carbon and water balances are especially crucial to the sustainable ecosystem and functional returns in sensitive regions such as the Mongolian Plateau. In this study, the significance of non-climatic component (NCC) on carbon and water use efficiency (CUE and WUE) is quantified amo…

  • Prospects for the sustainability of social-ecological systems (SES) on the Mongolian plateau

    Open AccessJiquan Chen, Ranjeet John et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The Mongolian Plateau hosts two different governments: the Mongolian People's Republic and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a provincial-level government of the People's Republic of China. The divergence between these governments has widened in the past century, mostly due to a series of institutional changes that generated different socioeconomic and demographic trajectories. Due to its high latitude and altitude, the Plateau has been highl…

  • Applications of structural equation modeling (SEM) in ecological studies

    Open AccessYi Fan, Jiquan Chen et al.ARTICLEEcological Processes2016

    This review was developed to introduce the essential components and variants of structural equation modeling (SEM), synthesize the common issues in SEM applications, and share our views on SEM’s future in ecological research. We searched the Web of Science on SEM applications in ecological studies from 1999 through 2016 and summarized the potential of SEMs, with a special focus on unexplored uses in ecology. We also analyzed and discussed the com…

  • Policy shifts influence the functional changes of the CNH systems on the Mongolian plateau

    Open AccessJiquan Chen, Ranjeet John et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    By applying the concept of the coupled natural and human system (CNH), we compared spatiotemporal changes in livestock (LSK), land cover, and ecosystem production to understand the relative roles that natural and social driving forces have on CNH dynamics on the Mongolia plateau. We used socioeconomic and physical data at prefecture level for Inner Mongolia and Mongolia from 1981 through 2010 to represent changes in net primary productivity (NPP)…

  • Grazing alters the biophysical regulation of carbon fluxes in a desert steppe

    Open AccessChangliang Shao, Jiquan Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    To determine the role of grazing on CO2 fluxes in a desert steppe, we used paired eddy-covariance systems to measure the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and microclimate on adjacent pastures of grazed (GS) and ungrazed (FS) steppes on the Mongolian Plateau from 2010 to 2011. The first year was an average precipitation year, while the second year was a dry year. In 2010, there was 91% greater growing seasonal gross ecosystem production (GEP) and 55% …
