  • How Long Do We Need to Watch Nature to See Biodiversity’s Full Effect on Ecosystem Stability?

    Prof. NIU Shuli’s team together with international collaborators, conducted a 4,200-km-long survey across the alpine grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau. They combined the regional data with global datasets on plant diversity and productivity, providing the first evidence that biodiversity’s stabilizing effects change over time in natural ecosystems.

  • Reimagined SDG-Driven Pathways to Combat Desertification

    An international research team led by WANG Xunming at IGSNRR demonstrates how a reimagined SDG-driven strategy can restore degraded land while safeguarding food production (SDG 2), rural livelihoods (SDG 1), and water security (SDG 6). These findings identify practical pathways to strengthen existing desertification control efforts and support resilient development in dryland regions globally.
