Climate has shifted the axis of the Earth (Apr 30, 2021)
The locations of the North and South poles aren't static, unchanging spots on our planet. The axis Earth spins around--or ...
Widespread Decline in Winds Delays Autumn Foliar Senescen... (Apr 23, 2021)
The responses of the Date of autumn Foliar Senescence (DFS) to climate change have focused for a better interpretation of carbon uptake.

Warming-induced Carbon Emission May Be Less than Previous... (Apr 13, 2021)
Temperature sensitivity is often expressed by the relative change of respiration at a temperature change of 10°C, which is called the Q10 value. The Q10 of terrestrial ecosystem respiration (Re) is important for quantifying climate–carbon cycle feedb...
Inversion of Missing Satellite Aerosol Parameters and Spa... (Jan 11, 2021)
Although remote sensing provides useful data products for global monitoring of air pollutants, the extensive non-random missingness due to cloud contamination or high surface reflectance severely limits their applicability. As a critical traffic-relate...
Proper Methods to Estimate the Fraction of Absorbed Photo... (Dec 22, 2020)
The fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) absorbed by green elements (fAPAR) is an essential climate variable in quantifying canopy absorbed PAR and gross and net primary production. Continuous and accurate measurement of the fAPAR is t...
Researchers Isolate the Responses of Crop Yield and Produ... (Sep 4, 2020)
In recent decades, climate disasters have disrupted food production and caused yield losses; these disasters have threatened food security at both local and global scales. Quantitative identification of the impacts of climate disasters on crop yields a...
