Food loss and waste (FLW) has become a worldwide concern in recent years and is widely identified as a key barrier to food security, human health, and environmental sustainability.
07 20, 2021Ecosystem services (ESs) are the ecological characteristics, functions, or processes that contribute to human wellbeing. According to Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005), approximately 60% of the global ESs are either degraded or used in an unsustain...
06 23, 2021Glacial melting due to global warming is likely the cause of a shift in the movement of the poles that occurred in the 1990s.
04 30, 2021The responses of the Date of autumn Foliar Senescence (DFS) to climate change have focused for a better interpretation of carbon uptake.Prof. WU Chaoyang's team at IGSNRR explored the changes of DFS in autumn with climate change (i.e. decline in winds) ...
04 23, 2021Knowledge of the temperature sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystem respiration (Q10) is a prerequisite for quantifying climate–carbon cycle feedback. Warming-induced carbon emission through terrestrial ecosystem respiration (Re) is likely getting strong...
04 13, 2021Although remote sensing provides useful data products for global monitoring of air pollutants, the extensive non-random missingness due to cloud contamination or high surface reflectance severely limits their applicability. As a critical traffic-related...
01 11, 2021The fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) absorbed by green elements (fAPAR) is an essential climate variable in quantifying canopy absorbed PAR and gross and net primary production. Continuous and accurate measurement of the fAPAR is th...
12 22, 2020Considering the limitations of crop models or statistical models, Prof. SHI Wenjiao’s team defined the actual-occurred composited series (AS) and control composited series, and quantitatively separated the losses of yield and production of the major gr...
09 04, 2020Forests harbor the largest biodiversity among terrestrial ecosystems and mediate biosphere-atmosphere carbon (C) dynamics via primary productivity and decomposition. The biodiversity of organisms involved in C and nutrient cycling can modify these ecosy...
08 20, 2020The establishment of well-facilitated farmland in recent years has played a key role in addressing the issues of land fragmentation and food security in China. Prof. SHI Wenjiao’s team at IGSNRR provided a detailed analysis of the comprehensive benefit...
