Afforestation enhances ecosystem stability in the farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China, but its effects are constrained by water availability

Yuchao Luo, Haile Zhao, Qianhe Wang, Yi Zhou et autres

Abstract The farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China (FPENC), a typical semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral ecologically fragile zone, has long faced controversy over afforestation due to its water-limited environment, raising concerns about how afforestation affects this fragile ecosystem. In this study, based on Google …

Climate-driven gains fail to mask the anthropogenic water crisis in Northern China

Riping Gao, Zhanrui Huang, Pengshuai Bi, Changlin Wu et autres

Abstract Over 1.8 billion people worldwide face water scarcity threats, with the challenge particularly acute in densely populated and agriculture-intensive drylands. Northern China, among the world’s most water-stressed regions, faces an intensifying yet poorly understood imbalance between freshwater supply and consumptive demand. …

A novel 3D hazard assessment framework for dry-to-wet abrupt alternation events and its application in the Yangtze River Basin, China

Zhanrui Huang, Zhihua Pan, Xiao Chen, Na Huang et autres

Dry-to-Wet Abrupt Alternation (DWAA) events represent a class of successive compound extremes characterized by a rapid transition from drought to wet conditions. These events, increasing in frequency in recent years, pose significant challenges to agricultural productivity, water resource management, and ecosystem stability. …

Increasing global heatwave occurrence associated with land-atmosphere interactions

Pengshuai Bi, Xiao Chen, Zhihua Pan, Na Huang et autres

Abstract Marked increases in heatwave frequency and intensity under global warming threaten ecosystems and societies. While large-scale atmospheric circulation has been considered the dominant influence, the role of land-atmosphere coupling remains unclear. Using ERA5 reanalysis data (1980–2022), we analyze the spatiotemporal evolution …

Renewal of aging residential buildings for electricity saving and carbon mitigation under climate change

Qiyuan Hu, Xiang Yu Gao, Tianbao Zhang, Yi Zhou et autres

Climate change is amplifying Residential Electricity Carbon Emissions (RECE), with aging buildings posing challenges. Due to lack of era-specific assessments of RECE, it still remains unclear whether urban renewal strategies can effectively counteract these climate-driven impacts. Using daily electricity and temperature datasets, …

The synergistic effects of climate change and fertilizer on crop yield: evidence from winter wheat in China

Na Huang, Fei Lun, Xiao Dong Chen, Riping Gao et autres

Abstract BACKGROUND Climate variability and agricultural management practices, particularly fertilizer use, jointly determine crop production and food security. Understanding their synergistic effects is essential for developing climate‐resilient farming strategies, yet the complex interactions between climate and fertilizer use in shaping crop yields …

Increasing proportion of mildly aged population in rural mitigates farmland abandonment in the farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China

Yuling Jin, Guoliang Zhang, Xin Chen, Yi Zhou et autres

Rural population aging has emerged as a widespread phenomenon, which can lead to farmland abandonment and pose unprecedented challenges to agricultural production and ecological sustainability in the farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China (FPENC). The dynamic changes in farmland abandonment from 2000 to …
