| 1 | Terrestrial vegetation carbon sinks in China,1981―2000显示文摘Using China's ground observations, e.g., forest inventory, grassland resource, agricultural statistics, climate, and satellite data, we estimate terrestrial vegetation carbon sinks for China's major biomes between 1981 and 2000. The main results are in the following: (1) Forest area and forest biomass car- bon (C) stock increased from 116.5×106 ha and 4.3 Pg C (1 Pg C = 1015 g C) in the early 1980s to 142.8×106 ha and 5.9 Pg C in the early 2000s, respectively. Forest biomass carbon density increased form 36.9 Mg C/ha (1 Mg C = 106 g C) to 41.0 Mg C/ha, with an annual carbon sequestration rate of 0.075 Pg C/a. Grassland, shrub, and crop biomass sequestrate carbon at annual rates of 0.007 Pg C/a, 0.014― 0.024 Pg C/a, and 0.0125―0.0143 Pg C/a, respectively. (2) The total terrestrial vegetation C sink in China is in a range of 0.096―0.106 Pg C/a between 1981 and 2000, accounting for 14.6%―16.1% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by China's industry in the same period. In addition, soil carbon sink is estimated at 0.04―0.07 Pg C/a. Accordingly, carbon sequestration by China's terrestrial ecosystems (vegetation and soil) offsets 20.8%―26.8% of its industrial CO2 emission for the study period. (3) Considerable uncertainties exist in the present study, especially in the estimation of soil carbon sinks, and need further intensive investigation in the future. | FANG JingYun GUO ZhaoDi PIAO ShiLong CHEN AnPing | 2007 | Science China Earth Sciences2007,50,9: | 188 |
| 2 | Increasing terrestrial vegetation activity in China, 1982—1999显示文摘Variations in vegetation activity during the past 18 years in China were investigated using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from the 3rd generation time series dataset of NOAA-AVHRR from 1982 to 1999. In order to eliminate the effects of non-vegetation factors, we characterized areas with NDVI < 0.1 as sparsely vegetated areas and areas with NDVI ≥ 0.1 as vegetated areas. The results showed that increasing NDVI trends were evident, to varying extents, in almost all regions in China in the 18 years, indicating that vegetation activity has been rising in recent years in these regions. Compared to the early 1980s, the vegetated area increased by 3.5% by the late 1990s, while the sparsely vegetated area declined by 18.1% in the same period. The national total mean annual NDVI increased by 7.4% during the study period. Extended growing seasons and increased plant growth rates ac-counted for the bulk of these increases, while increases in temperature and summer rainfall, and strengthening agricultural activity were also likely important factors. NDVI changes in China ex-hibited relatively large spatial heterogeneity; the eastern coastal regions experienced declining or indiscernibly rising trends, while agricultural regions and western China experienced marked increases. Such a pattern was due primarily to urbanization, agricultural activity, regional climate characteristics, and different vegetation responses to regional climate changes. | FANG Jingyun PIAO Shilong HE Jinsheng MA Wenhong | 2004 | Science China(Life Sciences)2004,47,3: | 109 |
| 3 | Biomass carbon stocks in China's forests between 2000 and 2050:A prediction based on forest biomass-age relationships显示文摘China's forests are characterized by young forest age,low carbon density and a large area of planted forests,and thus have high potential to act as carbon sinks in the future.Using China's national forest inventory data during 1994-1998 and 1999-2003,and direct field measurements,we investigated the relationships between forest biomass density and forest age for 36 major forest types.Statistical approaches and the predicted future forest area from the national forestry development plan were applied to estimate the potential of forest biomass carbon storage in China during 2000-2050.Under an assumption of continuous natural forest growth,China's existing forest biomass carbon(C) stock would increase from 5.86 Pg C(1 Pg=1015 g) in 1999-2003 to 10.23 Pg C in 2050,resulting in a total increase of 4.37 Pg C.Newly planted forests through afforestation and reforestation will sequestrate an additional 2.86 Pg C in biomass.Overall,China's forests will potentially act as a carbon sink for 7.23 Pg C during the period 2000-2050,with an average carbon sink of 0.14 Pg C yr-1.This suggests that China's forests will be a significant carbon sink in the next 50 years. | XU Bing,GUO ZhaoDi,PIAO ShiLong & FANG JingYun* Department of Ecology,College of Urban and Environmental Sciences,and Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education,Peking University,Beijing 100871,China | 2010 | Science China(Life Sciences)2010,53,7: | 61 |
| 4 | Multispherical interactions and their effects on the Tibetan Plateau's earth system: a review of the recent researches显示文摘The Tibetan Plateau(TP) is a regional Earth system showing very strong interactions among its lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and anthrosphere. hese interactions manifest TP's impact on surrounding regions and relect TP's response to the global change. Quantifying the multispherical interactions is critically important to understand the TP environment. Our recent years researches including the ongoing program entitled ‘Tibetan Multi-Spheres Interactions and heir Resource-Environment Signiicance(TIMI)', the completed program entitled. ‘Paleo-Altitudes of Tibetan Plateau and Environment(PATE)', as well as the other relating projects have focused on multidisciplinary research approaches and emphasized on three major pathways: Eurasia-Indian plates collision on deep-Earth dynamics, uplit impact on Earth's mantle–crust dynamics, and contemporary interface on land surface and atmospheric dynamics. Our researches have taken in situ measurement as priority and developed several platforms of data acquisition and analysis, including the platforms of water-phase transformations, and ecosystem observations. Our ield investigations have been conducted to obtain data about stratum, paleontology, paleoenvironment, genetic diferentiation of animals and plants. We have developed conceptual and mathematical models for crust uplit formation, paleoclimate, glacial melt,water–air interface lux, vegetation climate, and soil erosion. We have also assessed the anthropogenic impacts on environment. Our researches have achieved new and reliable redating of the mantle–crust interaction and initial formation of the TP, found the interaction between tectonics and uplit of the TP and resultant paleoaltitude acting as a spreading source; discovered the interaction between the westerlies and Indian monsoon acting as a control chain that dominates the TP's contemporary environment. he scientiic results can play fundamental roles in supporting the TP's resource exploration and societal sustainable development. | Tandong Yao Fuyuan Wu Lin Ding Jimin Sun Liping Zhu Shilong Piao Tao Deng Xijun Ni Hongbo Zheng Hua Ouyang | 2015 | National Science Review2015,2,4: | 35 |
| 5 | Estimation of China’s terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink:Methods,progress and prospects显示文摘China announced its national goal to reach the peak of carbon emission by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060,during the General Assembly of the United Nations in September 2020.In this context,the potential of the carbon sink in China’s terrestrial ecosystems to mitigate anthropogenic carbon emissions has attracted unprecedented attention from scientific communities,policy makers and the public.Here,we reviewed the assessments on China’s terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink,with focus on the principles,frameworks and methods of terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink estimates,as well as the recent progress and existing problems.Looking forward,we identified critical issues for improving the accuracy and precision of China’s terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink,in order to serve the more realistic policy making in pathways to achieve carbon neutrality for China. | Shilong PIAO Yue HE Xuhui WANG Fahu CHEN | 2022 | Science China Earth Sciences2022,65,4: | 30 |
| 6 | Future biomass carbon sequestration capacity of Chinese forests显示文摘Chinese forests, characterized by relatively young stand age, represent a significant biomass carbon(C)sink over the past several decades. Nevertheless, it is unclear how forest biomass C sequestration capacity in China will evolve as forest age, climate and atmospheric CO_2 concentration change continuously. Here,we present a semi-empirical model that incorporates forest age and climatic factors for each forest type to estimate the effects of forest age and climate change on total forest biomass, under three different scenarios based on the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project(CMIP5). We estimate that age-related forest biomass C sequestration to be 6.69 Pg C(~0.17 Pg C a^(-1)) from the 2000s to the 2040s.Climate change induces a rather weak increase in total forest biomass C sequestration(0.52–0.60 Pg C by the 2040s). We show that rising CO_2 concentrations could further increase the total forest biomass C sequestration by 1.68–3.12 Pg C in the 2040s across all three scenarios. Overall, the total forest biomass in China would increase by 8.89–10.37 Pg C by the end of 2040s. Our findings highlight the benefits of Chinese afforestation programs, continued climate change and increasing CO_2 concentration in sustaining the forest biomass C sink in the near future, and could therefore be useful for designing more realistic climate change mitigation policies such as continuous forestation programs and careful choice of tree species. | Yitong Yao Shilong Piao Tao Wang | 2018 | Science Bulletin2018,63,17: | 25 |
| 7 | Altered trends in carbon uptake in China’s terrestrial ecosystems under the enhanced summer monsoon and warming hiatus显示文摘The carbon budgets in terrestrial ecosystems in China are strongly coupled with climate changes.Over the past decade,China has experienced dramatic climate changes characterized by enhanced summer monsoon and decelerated warming.However,the changes in the trends of terrestrial net ecosystem production(NEP)in China under climate changes are not well documented.Here,we used three ecosystem models to simulate the spatiotemporal variations in China's NEP during 1982–2010 and quantify the contribution of the strengthened summer monsoon and warming hiatus to the NEP variations in four distinct climatic regions of the country.Our results revealed a decadal-scale shift in NEP from a downtrend of–5.95 Tg C/yr^2(reduced sink)during 1982–2000 to an uptrend of 14.22 Tg C/yr^2(enhanced sink)during 2000–10.This shift was essentially induced by the strengthened summer monsoon,which stimulated carbon uptake,and the warming hiatus,which lessened the decrease in the NEP trend.Compared to the contribution of 56.3%by the climate effect,atmospheric CO2 concentration and nitrogen deposition had relatively small contributions(8.6 and 11.3%,respectively)to the shift.In conclusion,within the context of the global-warming hiatus,the strengthening of the summer monsoon is a critical climate factor that enhances carbon uptake in China due to the asymmetric response of photosynthesis and respiration.Our study not only revealed the shift in ecosystem carbon sequestration in China in recent decades,but also provides some insight for understanding ecosystem carbon dynamics in other monsoonal areas. | Honglin He Shaoqiang Wang Li Zhang Junbang Wang Xiaoli Ren Lei Zhou Shilong Piao Hao Yan Weimin Ju Fengxue Gu Shiyong Yu Yuanhe Yang Miaomiao Wang Zhongen Niu Rcmg Ge Huimin Yan Mei Huang Guoyi Zhou Yongfei Bai Zongqiang Xie Zhiyao Tang Bingfang Wu Leiming Zhang Nianpeng He Qiufeng Wang Guirui Yu | 2019 | National Science Review2019,6,3: | 24 |
| 8 | Regional differences in the timing of recent air warming during the past four decades in China显示文摘Global surface temperature has dramatically increased in the past decades.It is critical to evaluate such a change using appropriate approaches.The previous studies for assessment of the change usually used overall trends of temperature series(i.e.slopes of simple linear regression of temperature versus year based on a least-square analysis) for entire study period.Temperature trends,however,differ among different periods,i.e.there are often breakpoints in the temperature series.Therefore,the overall linear trend of a temperature series may conceal some of the temporal characteristics of the temperature change.To precisely characterize the temporal and spatial patterns of air temperature change in China,we analyze the annual mean temperature series between the year of 1961?2004 for 536 meteorological stations across China,using piecewise linear regression approach.We found remarkable breakpoints in the annual mean temperature during the study period across the country.The annual mean temperature started to increase in 1984 at a rate of 0.058°C/a at the country level.The year when warming started appeared to be gradually later from the north to the south:temperature increased since the 1970s in the north(north of 40°N),and did not rise until the 1980s in most areas of the south(south of 40°N),with warming starting in 1983 in the Tibetan Plateau.The trends in annual mean temperatures showed a large spatial heterogeneity across China:a relatively small rising with a rate of 0.025-0.05°C/a in the Sichuan Basin,Central China and South China;the greatest increase in some parts of northwest China(i.e.Xinjiang) with up to a rate of 0.1°C/a;and rising at a rate of >0.05°C/a for most regions of the country.The feedbacks of cold waves and snow may be responsible for such regional differences in the timing and rates of warming in China. | WANG ShaoPeng WANG ZhiHeng PIAO ShiLong FANG JingYun | 2010 | Chinese Science Bulletin2010,55,19: | 18 |
| 9 | The impacts of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle:A review显示文摘The increased frequency of climate extremes in recent years has profoundly affected terrestrial ecosystem functions and the welfare of human society. The carbon cycle is a key process of terrestrial ecosystem changes. Therefore, a better understanding and assessment of the impacts of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle could provide an important scientific basis to facilitate the mitigation and adaption of our society to climate change. In this paper, we systematically review the impacts of climate extremes(e.g. drought, extreme precipitation, extreme hot and extreme cold) on terrestrial ecosystems and their mechanisms. Existing studies have suggested that drought is one of the most important stressors on the terrestrial carbon sink, and that it can inhibit both ecosystem productivity and respiration. Because ecosystem productivity is usually more sensitive to drought than respiration, drought can significantly reduce the strength of terrestrial ecosystem carbon sinks and even turn them into carbon sources. Large inter-model variations have been found in the simulations of drought-induced changes in the carbon cycle, suggesting the existence of a large gap in current understanding of the mechanisms behind the responses of ecosystem carbon balance to drought, especially for tropical vegetation. The effects of extreme precipitation on the carbon cycle vary across different regions. In general, extreme precipitation enhances carbon accumulation in arid ecosystems, but restrains carbon sequestration in moist ecosystems. However, current knowledge on the indirect effects of extreme precipitation on the carbon cycle through regulating processes such as soil carbon lateral transportation and nutrient loss is still limited. This knowledge gap has caused large uncertainties in assessing the total carbon cycle impact of extreme precipitation. Extreme hot and extreme cold can affect the terrestrial carbon cycle through various ecosystem processes. Note that the severity of such climate extremes depends greatly on their timing, which needs to be investigated thoroughly in future studies. In light of current knowledge and gaps in the understanding of how extreme climates affect the terrestrial carbon cycle, we strongly recommend that future studies should place more attention on the long-term impacts and on the driving mechanisms at different time scales.Studies based on multi-source data, methods and across multiple spatial-temporal scales, are also necessary to better characterize the response of terrestrial ecosystems to climate extremes. | Shilong PIAO Xinping ZHANG Anping CHEN Qiang LIU Xu LIAN Xuhui WANG Shushi PENG Xiuchen WU | 2019 | Science China Earth Sciences2019,62,10: | 16 |
| 10 | The effects of simulated nitrogen deposition on extracellular enzyme activities of litter and soil among different-aged stands of larch显示文摘Aims Nitrogen(N)addition could affect the rate of forest litter and soil organic matter decomposition by regulating extracellular enzyme activity(EEa).The impact of N addition on EEa may differ across different age stands with different organic matter quality.We were interested in whether the impact of N addition on EEa in litter and mineral soil during the growing season was dependent on stand age of a larch plantation in North China.Methods We added three levels of N(0,20 and 50 kg N ha^(−1) year^(−1))in three age stands(11,20 and 45 years old)of Larix principis-rupprech-tii plantation in North China.We measured potential activities of β-1,4-glucosidase(b),cellobiohydrolase(Cb),β-1,4-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase(Nag)and phenol oxidase(Po)in litter(organic horizon)and mineral soil(0-10 cm)during the second growing sea-son after N amendment.We also measured C and N concentrations,microbial biomass C and N,and KCl-extractable ammonium and nitrate in both litter and mineral soil.Important Findings We observed unimodal patterns of EEa during the growing season in all three stands,consistent with the seasonal variations of soil temperature.stand age had a strong effect on EEa in both litter and mineral soil,and this effect differed between litter and mineral soil as well as between different enzymes.N addition did not significantly affect the activities of b or Cb but significantly suppressed the activity of Nag in litter.We also found stand age-specific responses of Po activity to N addition in both litter and mineral soil.N addition suppressed Po activity of the high C:N ratio litters in 20-and 45-year-old stands but had no significant effect on Po activity of the low C:N ratio litter in 11-year-old stand.moreover,N addition inhibited Po activity of the high C:N ratio soil in 20-year-old stand but had no significant impact on Po activity of the low C:N ratio soils in 11-and 45-year-old stands.overall,stand age had a greater effect on EEa in litter and mineral soil compared to 2 years of N addition.moreover,the effect of N addition on Po activity is stand age dependent,which may affect the long-term soil carbon storage in this forest. | Yuecun Ma Biao Zhu Zhenzhong Sun Chuang Zhao Yan Yang Shilong Piao | 2014 | Journal of Plant Ecology2014,7,3: | 14 |
| 11 | Plant phenological responses to climate change on the Tibetan Plateau: research status and challenges显示文摘Phenology studies the cycle of events in nature that are initiated and driven by an annually recurring environment. Plant phenology is expected to be one of the most sensitive and easily observable natural indicators of climate change. On the Tibetan Plateau(TP), an accelerated warming since the mid-1980 s has resulted in signiicant environmental changes. hese new conditions are accompanied by phenological changes that are characterized by considerable spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Satellite remote sensing observed widespread advance in the start of the plant growing season across the plateau during the 1980 s and 1990 s but substantial delay over 2000–2011 in the southwest although it continued to advance in the northeast regions of the TP. Both observational studies and controlled experiments have revealed, to some extent, the positive role of higher preseason temperature and even more precipitation in advancing the leaf onset and irst lowering date of the TP. However, a number of rarely visited research issues that are essential for understanding the role of phenology in ecosystem responses and feedback processes to climate change remain to be solved. Our review recommends that addressing the following questions should be a high priority. How did other phenological events change, such as lowering and fruiting phenology? What are the inluences from environmental changes other than temperature and precipitation, including human activities such as grazing? What are the genetic and physiological bases of plants phenological responses?How does phenological change inluence ecosystem structure and function at diferent scales and feedback to the climate system? Investigating these research questions requires, irst of all, new data of the associated environmental variables, and consistent and reliable phenological observation using diferent methodologies(i.e. in situ observations and remote sensing). | Miaogen Shen Shilong Piao Tsechoe Dorji Qiang Liu Nan Cong Xiaoqiu Chen Shuai An Shiping Wang Tao Wang Gengxin Zhang | 2015 | National Science Review2015,2,4: | 13 |
| 12 | Strong link between large tropical volcanic eruptions and severe droughts prior to monsoon in the central Himalayas revealed by tree-ring records显示文摘Large tropical volcanic eruptions can cause short-term global cooling. However, little is known whether large tropical volcanic eruptions, like the one in Tambora/Indonesia in 1815, cause regional hydroclimatic anomalies. Using a tree-ring network of precisely dated Himalayan birch in the central Himalayas, we reconstructed variations in the regional pre-monsoon precipitation back to 1650 CE. A superposed epoch analysis indicates that the pre-monsoon regional droughts are associated with large tropical volcanic eruptions, appearing to have a strong influence on hydroclimatic conditions in the central Himalayas. In fact, the most severe drought since 1650 CE occurred after the Tambora eruption. These results suggest that dry conditions prior to monsoon in the central Himalayas were associated with explosive tropical volcanism. Prolonged La Ni?a events also correspond with persistent pre-monsoon droughts in the central Himalayas. Our results provide evidence that large tropical volcanic eruptions most likely induced severe droughts prior to monsoon in the central Himalayas. | Eryuan Liang Binod Dawadi Neil Pederson Shilong Piao Haifeng Zhu Shalik Ram Sigdel Deliang Chen | 2019 | Science Bulletin2019,64,14: | 8 |
| 13 | Multimodel projections and uncertainties of net ecosystem production in China over the twenty-first century显示文摘Ecosystems in China have been absorbing anthropogenic CO2 over the last three decades. Here, we assess future carbon uptake in China using models from phase 5 of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project under four socio-economic scenarios. The average of China's carbon sink from 2006 to 2100 represented by multimodel mean net ecosystem production(NEP) is projected to increase(relative to averaged NEP from 1976 to 2005) in the range of 0.137 and 0.891 Pg C a-1across differentscenarios. Increases in NEP are driven by increases in net primary production exceeding increases in heterotrophic respiration, and future carbon sink is mainly attributed to areas located in eastern China. However, there exists a considerable model spread in the magnitude of carbon sink and model spread tends to be larger when future climate change becomes more intense. The model spread may result from intermodel discrepancy in the magnitude of CO2 fertilization effect on photosynthesis, soil carbon turnover time, presence of carbon-nitrogen cycle and interpretation of land-use changes. For better quantifying future carbon cycle, a research priority toward improving model representation of these processes is recommended. | Tao Wang Xin Lin Shushi Peng Nan Cong Shilong Piao | 2014 | Chinese Science Bulletin2014,59,34: | 7 |
| 14 | Data-driven estimates of global nitrous oxide emissions from croplands显示文摘Croplands are the single largest anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide(N2O) globally, yet their estimates remain difficult to verify when using Tier 1 and 3 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC). Here, we re-evaluate global cropland-N2O emissions in 1961–2014, using N-rate-dependent emission factors(EFs) upscaled from 1206 field observations in 180 global distributed sites and high-resolution N inputs disaggregated from sub-national surveys covering 15593 administrative units. Our results confirm IPCC Tier 1 default EFs for upland crops in 1990–2014, but give a ~15% lower EF in 1961–1989 and a ~67% larger EF for paddy rice over the full period. Associated emissions(0.82 ±0.34 Tg N yr–1) are probably one-quarter lower than IPCC Tier 1 global inventories but close to Tier 3 estimates. The use of survey-based gridded N-input data contributes 58% of this emission reduction, the rest being explained by the use of observation-based non-linear EFs. We conclude that upscaling N2O emissions from site-level observations to global croplands provides a new benchmark for constraining IPCC Tier 1 and 3 methods. The detailed spatial distribution of emission data is expected to inform advancement towards more realistic and effective mitigation pathways. | Qihui Wang Feng Zhou Ziyin Shang Philippe Ciais Wilfried Winiwarter Robert B.Jackson Francesco N.Tubiello Greet Janssens-Maenhout Hanqin Tian Xiaoqing Cui Josep G.Canadell Shilong Piao Shu Tao | 2020 | National Science Review2020,7,2: | 7 |
| 15 | Local and teleconnected temperature effects of afforestation and vegetation greening in China显示文摘Afforestation in China provides carbon sequestration and prevents soil erosion,but its remote impacts on climate in other regions via the coupling of forest energy fluxes with atmospheric circulation are largely unknown.Here,we prescribe inventory-based forest cover change and satellite-observed leaf area index from 1982 to 2011 in a coupled land-atmosphere model to simulate their biophysical climate effects.Both local and global surface air temperatures show a seasonal contrast in response to past vegetation cover expansion over China:a phenomenon we primarily attribute to a variation of seasonality of vegetation greening.A large cooling in spring results in concurrent decreases in geopotential height over China and zonal wind over Mongolia,causing a dipole structure in the upper troposphere over the Arctic.This accounts for∼58%of simulated spring warming over the Russian Arctic and∼61%of simulated spring cooling over the Canadian Artic.Our results imply that spring vegetation dynamics in China may affect climate in northern high latitudes. | Yue Li Shilong Piao Anping Chen Philippe Ciais Laurent Z.X.Li | 2020 | National Science Review2020,7,5: | 6 |
| 16 | Deciphering impacts of climate extremes on Tibetan grasslands in the last fifteen years显示文摘Climate extremes have emerged as a crucial driver of changes in terrestrial ecosystems. The Tibetan Plateau, facing a rapid climate change, tends to favor climate extremes. But we lack a clear understanding of the impacts of such extremes on alpine grasslands. Here we show that extreme events(drought,extreme wet, extreme cold and extreme hot) occurred at a frequency of 0.67–4 months decade^(-1) during2001–2015, with extreme precipitation predominantly occurring in June-to-August and extreme temperatures in May. Drought and extreme wet cause opposite and asymmetric effects on grassland growth,with drought-induced reductions greater than increases due to extreme wet. Grassland responses to extreme temperatures, which predominantly occur in May, show a dipole-like spatial pattern, with extreme hot(cold) events enhanced(reduced) growth in the eastern plateau but slightly reduced(enhanced) growth in the western plateau. These opposite responses to extreme temperatures over the eastern plateau are explained by the possibility that the occurrence of extreme cold slows the preseason temperature accumulation, delaying the triggering of spring phenology, while extreme hot hastens the accumulation. In the western plateau, in contrast, positive responses to extreme cold are induced by accompanying high precipitation. Furthermore, high extremeness of climate events generally led to a much lower extremeness in growth response, implying that the Tibetan grasslands have a relatively high resistance to climate extremes. The ecosystem models tested could not accurately simulate grassland responses to drought and extreme temperatures, and require re-parameterization before trust can be placed in their output for this region. | Dan Liu Tao Wang Tao Yang Zhengjie Yan Yongwen Liu Yutong Zhao Shilong Piao | 2019 | Science Bulletin2019,64,7: | 5 |
| 17 | Spatial variations in responses of vegetation autumn phenology to climate change on the tibetan Plateau显示文摘Aims Information about changes in the start and end of the vegetation growing season(SOS and EOS)is crucial for assessing ecosystem responses to climate change because of the high sensitivity of both to climate and their extensive influence on ecological processes in temperate and cold regions.climatic warming substantially advanced SOS on the tibetan Plateau from 1982 to 2011.However,it is unclear why EOS showed little delay despite increasing tem-perature over this period.Methods We used multiple methods to determine EOS from the satellite-observed normalized-difference vegetation index and investigated the relationships between EOS and its potential drivers on the tibetan Plateau over 1982-2011.Important findings We found a slight but non-significant delay in regionally averaged EOS of 0.7 day decade−1(P=0.18)and a widespread but weak delaying trend across the Plateau over this period.the inter-annual variations in regionally averaged EOS were driven mainly by pre-season temperature(partial R=0.62,P<0.01),and precipitation and insolation showed weak impact on EOS(P>0.10).Pre-season warming delayed EOS mainly in the eastern half and north-western area of the plateau.In the south-west,EOS was significantly and positively related to SOS,suggesting potentially indirect effects of winter weather conditions on the following autumn’s phenology through regulation of spring phenology.EOS was more strongly related with pre-season temperature in colder and wetter areas,reflecting vegetation adaptation to local climate.Interestingly,pre-season temperature had weaker delaying effects on EOS for vegeta-tion with a shorter growing season,for which SOS had a stronger control on inter-annual variations in EOS than for vegetation with a longer growing season.this indicates that shorter-season tibetan Plateau vegetation may have lower plasticity in adjusting the length of its growing season,whenever it begins,and that climate change is more likely to shift the growing season than extend it for that vegetation. | Nan Cong Miaogen Shen Shilong Piao | 2017 | Journal of Plant Ecology2017,10,5: | 4 |
| 18 | Spring and autumn phenology across the Tibetan Plateau inferred from normalized difference vegetation index and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence显示文摘Plant phenology is a key parameter for accurately modeling ecosystem dynamics.Limited by scarce ground observations and benefiting from the rapid growth of satellite-based Earth observations,satellite data have been widely used for broad-scale phenology studies.Commonly used reflectance vegetation indices represent the emergence and senescence of photosynthetic structures(leaves),but not necessarily that of photosynthetic activities.Leveraging data of the recently emerging solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence(SIF)that is directly related to photosynthesis,and the traditional MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI),we investigated the similarities and differences on the start and end of the growing season(SOS and EOS,respectively)of the Tibetan Plateau.We found similar spatiotemporal patterns in SIF-based SOS(SOS_(SIF))and NDVI-based SOS(SOS_(NDV)I).These spatial patterns were mainly driven by temperature in the east and by precipitation in the west.Yet the two satellite products produced different spatial patterns in EOS,likely due to their different climate dependencies.Our work demonstrates the value of big Earth data for discovering broad-scale spatiotemporal patterns,especially on regions with scarce field data.This study provides insights into extending the definition of phenology and fosters a deeper understanding of ecosystem dynamics from big data. | Fandong Meng Ling Huang Anping Chen Yao Zhang Shilong Piao | 2021 | Big Earth Data2021,5,2: | 2 |
| 19 | Effects of wildfire on soil respiration and its heterotrophic and autotrophic components in a montane coniferous forest显示文摘Aims Episodic wildfires are expected to occur more frequently under future climate change scenarios,with substantial effects on CO_(2) exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.This study examined the effects of wildfire on soil respiration(R_(S))and its heterotrophic(R_(H))and autotrophic(R_(A))components,as well as their temperature responses(temperature sensitivity,Q_(10)).Methods We began this study in January 2014,8 months after a wildfire,in a montane coniferous forest in southwestern China.A trenching method was used to exclude plant roots and quantify R_(H).R_(A) was calculated by subtracting R_(H) from R_(S).Important findings From 2014 to 2015,the wildfire significantly reduced R_(S),R_(H) and R_(A) by 61.3%,42.5%and 84.0%,respectively,leading to increases in the ratio of R_(H) to R_(S),from 0.63 in the unburned stand to 0.85 in the burned stand.Ignoring diurnal differences,the wildfire did not affect the Q_(10) of R_(S) or R_(H),but substantially decreased the Q_(10) of R_(A),from 2.62 in the unburned stand to 2.08 in the burned stand.However,the daytime Q_(10) of R_(S) and R_(H) was suppressed follow-ing the wildfire by 25.1%and 28.8%,respectively,primarily due to increased daytime soil temperature.In the montane coniferous for-est,monthly precipitation but not soil temperature drove seasonal dynamics of soil CO_(2) release.Our findings help to clarify the mech-anisms underlying carbon cycling responses to natural disturbance,especially under a warmer future climate. | Jian Song Zhen Liu Yuan Zhang Tao Yan Zehao Shen Shilong Piao | 2019 | Journal of Plant Ecology2019,12,2: | 2 |
| 20 | Emerging Negative Warming Impacts on Tibetan Crop Yield显示文摘Preserving Tibet’s unique history and cultural heritage relies on the sustainability of the Tibetan croplands,which are characterized by highland barley,the only cereal crop cultivated over 4000 m above sea level.Yet it is unknown how these croplands will respond to climate change.Here,using yield statistics from 1985 to 2015,we found that the impact of temperature anomalies on the Tibetan crop yield shifted from nonsignificant(P>0.10)in the 1980s and 1990s to significantly negative(P<0.05)in recent years.Meanwhile,the apparent sensitivity of the crop yield to temperature anomalies almost doubled,from(–0.13±0.20)to(–0.22±0.14)t·ha^(-1)℃^(–1).The emerging negative impacts of higher temperatures suggest an increasing vulnerability of Tibetan croplands to warmer climate.With global warming scenarios of+1.5 or+2.0℃above the pre-industry level,the temperature sensitivities of crop yield may further increase to(–0.33±0.10)and(–0.51±0.18)t·ha^(-1)℃^(–1),respectively,making the crops 2–3 times more vulnerable to warmer temperatures than they are today. | Tsechoe Dorji Shilong Piao Xuhui Wang Chuang Zhao Baohua Liu Anping Chen Shiping Wang Tao Wang | 2022 | Engineering2022,8,7: | 2 |
