  • Diverse interplay of grey and green space in distinct Asian arid and semi-arid cities

    Open AccessLifeng Zhao, Li Tian et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2026Referências: 50

  • 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…

  • Impact of Urban built-up volume on Urban environment

    Open AccessTanni Sarker, Peilei Fan et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2024

    In this paper, the spatial patterns of urban form (e.g., 2D and 3D characteristics) from 2000 to 2020 in Jakarta are assessed and the interdependent relationships between urban built-up volume and urban environment are examined. Jakarta experienced rapid urban built-up land expansion of 19%, from 483 km2 in 2000 to 574 km2 in 2020 but with moderate urban built-up volumetric expansion at 4%, from 23.6 × 108 m3 in 2000 to 24.5 × 108 m3 in 2020. The…

  • Megagrazer loss drives complex landscape-scale biophysical cascades

    Open AccessOlli Hyvärinen, Mariska te Beest et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Wild animals can modulate ecosystem-climate feedbacks, e.g. through impacts on vegetation and associated carbon dynamics. However, vegetation cover and composition also affect land surface albedo, which is an important component of the global energy budget. We currently know very little about the influence of wild animals on land surface albedo and the resulting climate forcing of these albedo changes. Leveraging a unique, ecosystem-scale, semi-e…

  • Rooting meta-ecosystems with reciprocal lateral carbon and nitrogen flows in a Yangtze coastal marsh

    Open AccessYu Gao, Bin Zhao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The dynamics of lateral nutrient fluxes through hydrological movements are crucial for understanding ecological functions related to the flow of energy, materials, and organisms across various spatiotemporal scales. To investigate the connectivity of multiple spatial flow processes, we conducted a one-year field study to measure lateral hydrologic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) fluxes across the continental shelf in the Yangtze estuary. We observed …

  • Overlooked cooling effects of albedo in terrestrial ecosystems

    Open AccessJiquan Chen, Cheyenne Lei et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Radiative forcing (RF) resulting from changes in surface albedo is increasingly recognized as a significant driver of global climate change but has not been adequately estimated, including by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports, compared with other warming agents. Here, we first present the physical foundation for modeling albedo-induced RF and the consequent global warming impact (GWI Δ α ). We then highlight the …

  • Identifying opportunities for nature-based solutions with geospatialized life cycle assessments and fine-scale socioecological data

    Open AccessGabriela Shirkey, Annick Anctil et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    As we increasingly understand the impact that land management intensification has on local and global climate, the call for nature-based solutions (NbS) in agroecosystems has expanded. Moreover, the pressing need to determine when and where NbS should be used raises challenges to socioecological data integration as we overcome spatiotemporal resolutions. Natural and working lands is an effort promoting NbS, particularly emissions reduction and ca…

  • Albedo of crops as a nature-based climate solution to global warming

    Open AccessCheyenne Lei, Jiquan Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Surface albedo can affect the energy budget and subsequently cause localized warming or cooling of the climate. When we convert a substantial portion of lands to agriculture, land surface properties are consequently altered, including albedo. Through crop selection and management, one can increase crop albedo to obtain higher levels of localized cooling effects to mitigate global warming. Still, there is little understanding about how distinctive…

  • Grassland albedo as a nature-based climate prospect

    Open AccessSteven McGregor, Joris P G M Cromsigt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Nature-based solutions for mitigating climate change focus largely on land management to reduce carbon emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. Tree planting, commonly advocated for carbon offset, threatens grassland biodiversity and may induce positive radiative forcing (warming) by lowering albedo. Before making decisions about land-use changes in grasslands, an understanding of the fine-scale albedo of grassy versus woody vegetation is need…

  • Global warming impacts of carbon dioxide, methane, and albedo in an island forest nature reserve

    Open AccessLiangxu Wu, qingsong Zhu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Forest ecosystems influence climate by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and by altering the surface energy balance. However, the combined global warming impacts (GWIs), contribution from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) fluxes, methane (CH 4 ) fluxes, and albedo changes (Δ α ) remain poorly understood. Here, we reported the combined GWIs of CO 2 , CH 4 , and albedo with eddy covariance (EC) measurements during 2020–2022 in a subtropical island fores…

  • Mapping the Future of Migration and Climate Change Science

    Open AccessStephanie J Nawyn, Linlang He et al.ARTICLEInternational Migration Review2024Citada por: 2Referências: 49

    The scholarship on migration and climate change has been rapidly developed over recent decades, moving away from apocalyptic predictions of mass displacement toward more nuanced modeling of the complex relationships between climate change and migration. Unfortunately, much of that development has happened in parallel to the core of migration studies and thus our prevailing migration theories do not reflect these emerging studies of climate and mi…

  • What caused the unseasonal extreme dust storm in Uzbekistan during November 2021

    Open AccessXin Xi, Daniel Steinfeld et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    An unseasonal dust storm hit large parts of Central Asia on 4–5 November 2021, setting records for the column aerosol burden and fine particulate concentration in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The dust event originated from an agropastoral region in southern Kazakhstan, where the soil erodibility was enhanced by a prolonged agricultural drought resulting from La Niña-related precipitation deficit and persistent high atmospheric evaporative demand. The du…

  • 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…

  • Untangling the impacts of socioeconomic and climatic changes on vegetation greenness and productivity in Kazakhstan

    Open AccessVenkatesh Kolluru, Ranjeet John et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Studies examining the joint interactions and impacts of social-environmental system (SES) drivers on vegetation dynamics in Central Asia are scarce. We investigated seasonal trends and anomalies in drivers and their impacts on ecosystem structure and function (ESF). We explored the response of net primary production, evapotranspiration and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to various SES drivers—climate, human influence, heat stress, …

  • Bound to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia

    Yecheng Xu, Yaoqi Zhang et al.ARTICLEEurasian Geography and Economics2022Referências: 11

    During the urbanization process in Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar (UB) became the most dominant metro-city in the nation and the most popular migration destination. We examined the changes in migration to UB during the economic transition of 2002–2017 and explored driving forces using the dataset from the Mongolia National Labor Survey. The results confirmed that relatively higher wages and lower unemployment positively influenced migration toward UB. Usi…

  • 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…

  • Urban expansion inferenced by ecosystem production on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau

    Open AccessLi Tian, Jiquan ChenARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Assessments of changes in landscape patterns and functions during urban development need to factor urban fringes (UPs) as part of the overall social-environmental system, especially in regions with poor transportation systems where urban functions depend heavily on surrounding suburbs. In this study, we use net primary production (NPP) as an integrative measure to delineate UPs and to measure the expansion in 15 urban areas in the remote Qinghai-…

  • Albedo-induced global warming impact of Conservation Reserve Program grasslands converted to annual and perennial bioenergy crops

    Open AccessMichael Abraha, Jiquan Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Climate benefit assessments of bioenergy crops often focus on biogeochemical impacts, paying little if any attention to biogeophysical impacts. However, land conversions required for large-scale bioenergy crop production are substantial and may directly affect the climate by altering surface energy balance. In the US, such land conversions are likely to be met in part by converting Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grassland to bioenergy crops. …

  • The biophysical climate mitigation potential of boreal peatlands during the growing season

    Open AccessManuel Helbig, J M Waddington et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the atmosphere. Understanding how land-atmosphere interactions in peatlands differ from forests may therefore be crucial for modelling boreal climate system dynamics and for assessing climate benefits of peatland conservation and restoration. To assess the bioph…

  • 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…

  • Carbon debt of field-scale conservation reserve program grasslands converted to annual and perennial bioenergy crops

    Open AccessMichael Abraha, Ilya Gelfand et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Over 5 million ha of US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands have been converted to annual crops since 2000, driven mainly by demand for corn grain ethanol. Much of the soil carbon sequestered under CRP is lost upon conversion, creating a 'carbon debt' that is presumed to be repaid by future greenhouse gas (GHG) savings from ethanol's substitution for petroleum. Model simulations, extrapolations, and national statistics rather than direc…

  • Dryland belt of Northern Eurasia

    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…
