Redistribution process of precipitation in ecological restoration activity of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica in Mu Us Sandy Land, China

Yiben Cheng et al.

Summary: This study focused on the widely replanted Pinus sylvestris var. Mongolica (PSM) in Mu Us Sandy Land (MUSL) and examined the distribution of precipitation, soil moisture, sap flow, and deep soil recharge (DSR) in shallow soil layers. The results showed that the restoration process of PSM changed the precipitation distribution, with some infiltrating downward as DSR and some being stored in the shallow soil. The increase in vegetation led to increased soil water storage (SWS) capacity in the PSM plot. However, the reduction of shallow SWS and DSR in the PSM plot could be detrimental to the long-term development of PSM forest.

Spatiotemporal evolution and driving forces of ecosystem service value and ecological risk in the Ulan Buh Desert

Huan Liu et al.

Summary: A clear understanding of the spatiotemporal evolution and driving factors of ESV and ERI is essential for sustainable ecosystem management. The results showed an overall increase in ESV and a decrease in ERI. There was a negative correlation between ESV and ERI, with a low value-high risk relationship. The interaction between distance to a highway and annual precipitation had the strongest impact among the influencing factors.

Prediction of spatial distribution characteristics of ecosystem functions based on a minimum data set of functional traits of desert plants

Yudong Chen et al.

Summary: The study constructed minimum data sets (MDS) of functional traits for woody (wMDS) and herbaceous (hMDS) plants, and used them to predict the spatial distribution of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling in ecosystems. The results showed that the MDSs can replace the total data set (TDS) in predicting ecosystem function, and non-linear models RF and BPNN can accurately predict the spatial distributions of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling.

How does the photovoltaic industry contribute to China's carbon neutrality goal? Analysis of a system dynamics simulation

Libo Zhang et al.

Summary: Research on China's PV industry shows that before 2018, the industry emitted more CO2 than it reduced, with significant implications for achieving carbon neutrality. To reach carbon neutrality, there will be a significant amount of waste PV modules generated annually after 2030, and recycling these modules could reduce emissions by 55 million tons of CO2. The PV industry has a crucial role in reducing China's carbon emissions and achieving societal carbon neutrality by 2060.

Spatiotemporal Evolution and Driving Forces of Vegetation Cover in the Urumqi River Basin

Azimatjan Mamattursun et al.

Summary: Determining long-term changes in vegetation cover and the driving forces behind them is crucial for understanding the factors that affect vegetation growth. This study investigated the Urumqi River basin and found that vegetation cover fluctuated from 2000 to 2020, with an overall increasing trend. Human factors were found to have a greater impact on vegetation cover changes.

An Analysis of the Driving Factors of the Desertification in the Desert-Oasis Transition Zone Utilizing the Perspective of the Marx's Concept of Nature: A Case Study of the Ulan Buh Desert

Yuan Xie et al.

Summary: Based on quantitative analysis of desertification driving factors in the Ulan Buh Desert, it was found that human activities have a major impact on desertification. The desertification in the region is declining, emphasizing the need to lessen the excessive impact of human activities on the desert ecosystem to protect local resources and increase ecological capacity.

Microclimate and Wind Regime of Three Typical Landscapes in the Northeastern Ulan Buh Desert

Fengmin Luo et al.

Summary: This study revealed the microclimate and wind regimes of Ulan Buh Desert Oasis and the surrounding desert in northern China. The oasis had lower average temperature and wind speed, and higher relative humidity compared to the desert and desert-oasis ecotone. The dominant sediment transport directions varied in the desert and ecotone, while in the oasis, they were associated with the seasons, with sandstorms threatening primarily from the south-southeast in spring.

Ecological and Environmental Effects of Land Use and Cover Changes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: A Bibliometric Review

Ying Liang et al.

Summary: This paper conducts a bibliometric analysis to explore the impact of land use and cover change (LUCC) on the regional and global ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). The results show that there is a high development potential in this field and climate change has received increasing research attention. Future research should focus on improving the accuracy of land use data, assessing and preventing ecological risks, and exploring the interactions between climate change and human activities.

Carbon dioxide fluxes of cyanobacterial crusts and underlying soil under different precipitation patterns in the Ulan Buh Desert, China

Lili Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the carbon processes of cyanobacterial crusts and found that both precipitation amount and frequency significantly affected carbon emissions, but there was no interactive effect between the two. Under the same precipitation amount, high-frequency precipitation events resulted in the highest carbon emissions. Against the background of a changing global climate, there is an increasing trend of carbon emissions from cyanobacterial crusts and underlying soil.

Temporal and Spatial Variations in the Leaf Area Index and Its Response to Topography in the Three-River Source Region, China from 2000 to 2017

Wenqi Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that in the research area, the average leaf area index value showed a linear increasing trend; the leaf area index values decreased from southeast to northwest in spatial distribution, with the coefficient of variation indicating relatively stable variations; the trend analysis suggested a certain degree of vegetation improvement, but the Hurst index indicated a weak anti-sustaining effect of the current tendencies. Additionally, as relief amplitude and slope increased, there was a clear increasing trend in the multiyear mean leaf area index value, and the stability of the leaf area index also improved with increasing slope.

On Change of Soil Moisture Distribution With Vegetation Reconstruction in Mu Us Sandy Land of China, With Newly Designed Lysimeter

Yiben Cheng et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the ecohydrological process of lined rain-fed Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica (PSM) sand-fixing forest in Northwestern China. The results show two main moisture recharge processes in the PSM forest soil, with noticeable deep soil recharge (DSR) occurring in the summer of 2018. The annual evapotranspiration in the PSM forest responds to annual precipitation fluctuations and has evolved over the years to regulate water consumption.

Spatio-temporal variation characteristics of NDVI and its response to climate on the Loess Plateau from 1985 to 2015

Peng Li et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the spatial-temporal variation characteristics of NDVI on the Loess Plateau and its response to climate using data from GIMMS NDVI 3g and five climatic factors. The results showed an overall upward trend in vegetation at the annual scale, with severe degradation in certain regions. The correlation between NDVI and atmospheric pressure was negative, while it was positive for the other four climatic factors. The study also found different impacts of climatic, topographical, and geographical elements under different land uses on the spatial distribution of NDVI.
