The spatiotemporal pattern and influencing factors of land surface temperature change in China from 2003 to 2019

Zengjing Song et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the trends of land surface temperature (LST) using linear and nonlinear methods, identifying significant cooling trends during 2007 to 2011/2012. The warming effects in spring and winter played a crucial role in the interannual variations of LST, while air temperature and vegetation were identified as dominant factors influencing LST changes in most regions of China.

Where Are Global Vegetation Greening and Browning Trends Significant?

Jose Cortes et al.

Summary: Global greening trends have been reanalyzed using a novel statistical method to address issues of multiple hypothesis testing and false positive detection. The study found a reduction in detected greening from 35.2% to 15.3% of terrestrial land surface, with the most significant decrease observed in nonwoody vegetation. The results confirm several greening regions and suggest an increasing seasonal amplitude in leaf area index north of 35 degrees N.

Spatiotemporal variation of enhanced vegetation index in the Amazon Basin and its response to climate change

Rui Zhong et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in the past 20 years, there has been a slight increase in both vegetation index and precipitation in the Amazon Basin, while temperature has significantly increased. Both precipitation and temperature have significant positive effects on vegetation dynamics, with climatic factors impacting vegetation growth more during the dry season than the wet season.

Spatiotemporal assessment of land use/land cover change and associated carbon emissions and uptake in the Mekong River Basin

Xiaojing Tang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the land use and land cover change in the Mekong River Basin from 2001 to 2019, showing that the establishment of plantations and agricultural expansion are the major components of land use change in the region. The study found that most deforested areas were converted into tree plantations, with carbon uptake from new plantations offsetting almost half of the emissions from deforestation in the area. Assessing post-deforestation land use is crucial for understanding the carbon consequences of land use change.

Identifying the spatial drivers of net primary productivity: A case study in the Bailong River Basin, China

Yanyan Zhou et al.

Summary: The study identified key drivers of vegetation growth in the Bailong River Basin, with climate factors playing a significant role in NPP. NPP was lower in the north compared to the south, with natural and social factors synergistically controlling vegetation growth in different townships.

The social and ecological costs of reforestation. Territorialization and industrialization of land use accompany forest transitions in Southeast Asia

Melanie Pichler et al.

Summary: Five Southeast Asian countries have shifted from net deforestation to net increases in forest area since the 1990s, driven by climate change mitigation policies like REDD+. However, this has led to exclusionary effects and spatial injustices. The study highlights the complexities in forest transitions and how they compromise the benefits for climate change mitigation.
