As important coastal "blue carbon" ecosystems, mangrove forests have a powerful carbon sink function and play an important role in mitigating atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and slowing down global climate change. Globally, mangrove forests are mainly distributed along the coastal zones of tropical and subtropical areas, characterized by fragmented habitats, uneven distribution, and hi...
According to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, aerosol-cloud interaction, which plays a dominant role in aerosol climate effect, is also one of the main sources for uncertainties in climate simulation. As this process is subject to the nonlinear complex impacts of several variables, its calculation should be accurately parameterized. The widely used w...
With the development of globalization, emerging economies are playing an increasingly important role in global economic supply chains. Facing the severe challenge of climate change, how to achieve green, low-carbon and sustainable development in emerging economies has become a top priority to achieve global carbon neutrality in the future.Due to the poor availability and difficulty in collectin...
Fire (or wildfire) is an important climate-driven disturbance in terrestrial ecosystems, also modulated by human ignitions or fire suppression. Spatio-temporal changes in fire emissions can feed back on the global carbon cycle and the climate system, but whether the trajectories of changing fire activity will exacerbate or attenuate climate change is poorly understood. Previous studies have dem...
Associate Professor Wang Yong’s Research Group of the Department of Earth System Science (DESS), Tsinghua, by multi-model climate simulation experiments and temperature-economy assessment model from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), estimated the biogeophysical (BGP) and biogeochemical (BGC) impacts on mean surface air temperature (SAT) and day-to-day SAT variability a...
Yu Le’s Research Group of the Department of Earth System Science (DESS), Tsinghua University, in collaboration with several research groups at home and abroad such as Li Wei’s Research Group, using high-resolution biomass data and datasets of the change of the areas of oil palm plantations, has recently estimated forest biomass loss during 2001–2015 caused by oil palm encroachment, and disco...
