A new paper titled “Continental-scale quantification of post-fire vegetation greenness recovery in temperate and boreal North America” was published in Remote Sensing of Environment by Yang et al., 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2017.07.022 Knowledge and information of post-fire vegetation recovery are essential for our understanding of ecosystem stability and resilience in response to present and future disturbances. Although…Continue Reading Fire-induced changes in 10-year average NDVI during 2006–2015 (Yang et al., 2017)
Preindustrial nitrous oxide emissions (Xu et al., 2017)
A new paper titled “Preindustrial nitrous oxide emissions from the land biosphere estimated by using a global biogeochemistry model” was published in Climate of the Past by Xu et al., 2017. https://www.clim-past.net/13/977/2017/ To accurately assess how increased global nitrous oxide (N2O) emission has affected the climate system requires a robust estimation of the preindustrial N2O…Continue Reading Preindustrial nitrous oxide emissions (Xu et al., 2017)
Methane emission estimates from ruminant livestock during 1890-2014 available (Dangal et al. 2017)
A new paper titled “Methane emission from global livestock sector during 1890–2014: Magnitude, trends and spatiotemporal patterns” was published in Global Change Biology by Dangal et al., 2017. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.13709/full Human demand for livestock products has increased rapidly during the past few decades largely due to dietary transition and population growth, with significant impact on climate…Continue Reading Methane emission estimates from ruminant livestock during 1890-2014 available (Dangal et al. 2017)
Dr. Tian led research in ‘Nature’ found human-induced greenhouse gas emissions from the land contribute to climate change
Along with scientists from 16 institutions in four countries, Dr. Tian led research found that human-induced methane and nitrous oxide gas emissions overwhelm terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake, which contribute to climate change. The study was published in the March 10 issue of scientific journal, Nature. For more details, please visit our news featured on…Continue Reading Dr. Tian led research in ‘Nature’ found human-induced greenhouse gas emissions from the land contribute to climate change
