Whether land greening in different geomorphic units are beneficial to water yield in the Yellow River Basin?

Guangyong Li et al.

Summary: This study found that the water yield in the Yellow River Basin overall increased during the study period, with cultivated land and grassland being the main contributing factors. Different regions showed varying impacts on water yield, and land use/land cover changes have been beneficial to water yield in recent years.

Risk and vulnerability of Mongolian grasslands under climate change

Banzragch Nandintsetseg et al.

Summary: Climate change is projected to increase the aridity of semi-arid ecosystems, including Mongolian grasslands, leading to more frequent hazardous droughts. The increase in risk is mainly caused by the climate change-induced increase in the probability of hazardous drought and, to a lesser extent, by the increasing vulnerability. Strategic management for both adaptation and ecosystem conservation is needed in regions like northcentral and northeast Mongolia to cope with climate change impacts.

Systematically addressing the heterogeneity in the response of ecosystem services to agricultural modernization, industrialization and urbanization in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau from 2000 to 2018

Yingying Tian et al.

Summary: The study reveals that agricultural modernization has the most negative impact on ecosystem services, while industrialization and urbanization have relatively less pressure on ESS, with some positive impacts. Different levels of modernization exhibit distinct effects on ESS and their associated services, highlighting the need for corresponding adaptive management measures.

Uncovering the relationships between ecosystem services and social- ecological drivers at different spatial scales in the Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei region

Jiashu Shen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatial patterns and relationships of six ecosystem service supplies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2015, revealing differences in spatial pattern robustness across scales, antagonistic relationships between provisioning service and other ecosystem services, and predominantly synergistic relationships between regulating services and cultural service. The impacts of social-ecological drivers varied in direction and magnitude across ecosystem services at different scales, with the normalized difference vegetation index identified as the most influential driver.

Impacts of human appropriation of net primary production on ecosystem regulating services in Tibet

Yanjie Zhang et al.

Summary: Human activities have significantly altered the ecology of Earth, affecting ecosystem processes such as net primary production (NPP) through human appropriation of NPP (HANPP). The study in Tibet suggests that HANPP can impact ecosystem regulating services, with potential thresholds for sustainability and collapse of ecosystems. These findings highlight the importance of using HANPP as an indicator of ecological sustainability.

Mapping the Vulnerability of Arctic Wetlands to Global Warming

Elisie Karesdotter et al.

Summary: Wetlands in the Arctic region cover approximately 25% of the landmass, with 99% of them located in permafrost areas, making them highly vulnerable to future climate change. The study suggests that Arctic wetlands are at risk of significant ecosystem regime shifts, especially under high emission scenarios. The developed wetland and vulnerability maps can help in planning and protecting the most vulnerable areas.

Impact of seawater temperature on Korean aquaculture under representative concentration pathways (RCPs) scenarios

Bong-Tae Kim et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the short- and long-term impacts of elevated seawater temperatures on 14 important aquaculture species around the Korean Peninsula under two representative concentration pathways (RCPs). Results indicated that the predicted northward shift in suitable aquafarming locations may not apply to all species, with higher frequencies of non-optimal temperature periods under the RCP8.5 scenario.

Ecosystem services provision by Mediterranean forests will be compromised above 2celcius warming

Alejandra Moran-Ordonez et al.

Summary: The study found that Mediterranean forests will experience changes in ecosystem service provision under different IPCC climate change scenarios. Climate change will lead to a reduction in regulating services, an increase in climate-related forest hazards, and unclear impacts on material services. The interaction of temperature rise and other drivers will play a key role in determining the extent of these changes.

Impacts of climate change on environmental flows in West Africa's Upper Niger Basin and the Inner Niger Delta

Julian R. Thompson et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of modified water regimes due to climate change on the Upper Niger Basin and flooding within the Inner Niger Delta. Risk increases in the future, with a larger impact on low flows. Changes in flood patterns have implications for wetland ecology and ecosystem services.

Global warming assessment suggests the endemic Brazilian kelp beds to be an endangered ecosystem

A. B. Anderson et al.

Summary: The study modeled the fundamental niche of an endemic brown seaweed species along the Brazilian coast to predict potential distributional shifts under contrasting future environmental scenarios. Results show potential niche gains in the south and niche erosion in the north. Urgent long-term monitoring is needed to develop effective conservation initiatives to protect this endangered ecosystem.

Scale effect and spatially explicit drivers of interactions between ecosystem services-A case study from the Loess Plateau

Menghao Yang et al.

Summary: This study compared and analyzed the trade-offs and synergies between four ecosystem services at different scales on the Loess Plateau. It found that most relationships between ecosystem services were synergistic and enhanced as the scale increased. Additionally, the strongest synergies or weakest trade-offs between ecosystem services were observed at the municipality administrative scale, with correlations varying spatially based on factors such as vegetation cover, annual average temperature, and construction land percentage.

Summary: The study investigates the contributions of cryospheric meltwater in China, focusing on the impact of different cryospheric elements on freshwater resources. It finds that the main contribution areas are located in northeastern China, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and arid regions of Northwest China, playing important roles in various industries and ecosystems.

Climate change and elevated CO2 favor forest over savanna under different future scenarios in South Asia

Dushyant Kumar et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that South Asian vegetation shows complex responses to climate change and CO2 concentrations. Without CO2 fertilization, vegetation biomass and canopy cover decrease, while with CO2 fertilization, there is an increase in vegetation biomass and canopy cover, resulting in transitions towards tree-dominated biomes in some regions.
