  • 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…

  • 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, …

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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)…

  • Vegetation response to extreme climate events on the Mongolian Plateau from 2000 to 2010

    Open AccessRanjeet John, Jiquan Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Climate change has led to more frequent extreme winters (aka, dzud) and summer droughts on the Mongolian Plateau during the last decade. Among these events, the 2000–2002 combined summer drought– dzud and 2010 dzud were the most severe on vegetation. We examined the vegetation response to these extremes through the past decade across the Mongolian Plateau as compared to decadal means. We first assessed the severity and extent of drought using the…

  • Climate change in Inner Mongolia from 1955 to 2005—trends at regional, biome and local scales

    Open AccessNan Lu, Burkhard Wilske et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    This study investigated the climate change in Inner Mongolia based on 51 meteorological stations from 1955 to 2005. The climate data was analyzed at the regional, biome (i.e. forest, grassland and desert) and station scales, with the biome scale as our primary focus. The climate records showed trends of warmer and drier conditions in the region. The annual daily mean, maximum and minimum temperature increased whereas the diurnal temperature range…

  • Land cover/land use change in semi-arid Inner Mongolia

    Open AccessRanjeet John, Jiquan Chen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    The semi-arid grasslands in Inner Mongolia (IM) are under increasing stress owing to climate change and rapid socio-economic development in the recent past. We investigated changes in land cover/land use and landscape structure between 1992 and 2004 through the analysis of AVHRR and MODIS derived land cover data. The scale of analysis included the regional level (i.e. the whole of IM) as well as the level of the dominant biomes (i.e. the grasslan…
