The Silk Road spirit is consistent with the ideal of “all states joining together in harmony and peace” long upheld by the Chinese nation, with the Chinese people’s principles of amity, good neighborliness and “helping others to succeed while seeking our own success”, and with the call ...
The mean, solar-fixed horizontal and vertical distribution of water vapor in and above the Venusian cloud layer is presented. This is derived from far-infrared measurements made by the Orbiter Infrared Radiometer (OIR) instrument of the Pioneer Venus mission in the rotation band of water vapor ...
The global volume and distribution of groundwater less than 50 years old—modern groundwater that is the most recently recharged and also the most vulnerable to global change—are unknown. Here we combine geochemical, geologic, hydrologic and geospatial data sets with numerical simulations of ground...
For instance, climate influences the distribution of vegetation on Earth’s surface (e.g., deserts exist in arid regions, forests in humid regions), but vegetation in turn influences climate by reflecting radiant energy back into the atmosphere, transferring water (and latent heat) from soil to...
Hydrological and climatic modeling of near-surface water and energy fluxes is critically dependent on the availability of soil hydraulic parameters. Key among these parameters is the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), a function relating soil water content (𝜃θ) to matric potential (𝜓ψ)...
of an increase in magnitude of the so-calledgreenhouse effect, a warming of Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere caused by the presence ofwater vapour,carbon dioxide,methane,nitrous oxides, and other greenhouse gases. In 2014 theIPCCfirst reported that concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, ...
The evolution and future of research on Nature-based Solutions to address societal challenges Thomas Dunlop Danial Khojasteh Stefan Felder Communications Earth & Environment(2024) The increasing water stress projected for China could shift the agriculture and manufacturing industry geographically ...
Our high-spatial-resolution dataset delivers global maps of tidal flats, which substantially advances our understanding of the distribution, trajectory and status of these poorly known coastal ecosystems.This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ...
A freely available dataset produced from three million Landsat satellite images reveals substantial changes in the distribution of global surface water over the past 32 years and their causes, from climate change to human actions. The distribution of sur
Particularly, FLUXNET consists of a global network of tower sites that use eddy covariance to measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between the biosphere and atmosphere [29]. FLUXNET2015 is the latest freely downloadable FLUXNET data (https://fluxnet.org, accessed on ...
