Abstract: Recently, the Research Group led by Associate Professor Liu Zhu from the Department of Earth System Science of Tsinghua University proposed a spatial representation model of carbon emissions based on near-real-time carbon emission quantification method and parameter model, and constructed the first near-real-time Global Gridded Daily CO2 Emission Dataset (GRACED), which provides impo...
Nu-Salween River is an important international river that flows through China, Thailand and Myanmar, and also one of the few free-flowing rivers in the world without reservoir dams along the main stream. This basin is of high ecological value and great development potential, thus playing an increasingly important role in scientific research and local social and economic development. However, du...
As crop yield is heavily influenced by climate, agriculture has remained dependent on climate since ancient times. With scientific and technological progress, the influence of climate on agricultural production has been alleviated to some extent. Nonetheless, the dependency on climate still exists, because wide control and change of climate is impossible for the time being. Especially in the te...
On October 21, 2021, the National “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” Scientific and Technological Innovation Achievement Exhibition was held in the Beijing Exhibition Center, which would last until the 27th of the month. Themed “Innovation-Driven Development Towards a Science and Technology Power”, the Achievement Exhibition highlighted the major scientific and technological achievements made by C...
Tropical forests are an important part of global carbon cycle. In the past few decades, they have suffered severe deforestation and forest degradation, leading to forest fragmentation and the formation of a large number of forest edge areas. Forest edge effect refers to the phenomenon that the biomass of the edge of the forest is significantly lower than that of the internal forest due to high ...
