Abstract:
... Atmospheric oxidizing capacity (AOC) is the fundamental driving factors of chemistry process (e.g., the formation of ozone (O₃) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA)) in the troposphere. However, accurate quantification of AOC still remains uncertainty. In this study, a comprehensive field campaign was conducted during autumn 2019 in downtown of Beijing, where O₃ and PM₂.₅ episodes had been experie ...

Abstract:
... Forage-based beef production is one of the most productive agricultural systems, especially in semiarid, subtropical environments, yet it is temporally variable due to climatic factors. Dormant native perennial warm-season grasses are available for grazing from autumn through spring; however, their protein concentration is inadequate to support growing cattle. Winter cereal forages, such as tritic ...

Abstract:
... Accurate precipitation data are crucial for hydrological, meteorological, and ecological research. However, it is difficult to obtain high-precision and high-resolution spatiotemporal distributions of precipitation in remote mountain regions with complex topography and sparse rain gauges. In addition, the spatial resolutions of existing satellite precipitation products are too coarse to apply them ...

Abstract:
... Excretion of urinary nitrogen (N) from grazing ruminants is the main source of N loss from grazed pastures. The aim of this study was to reduce farm N loss by harnessing between-cow variation in urine excretion using a non-invasive acoustic urine sensor technology. Acoustic sensors were attached to 100 cows in summer and autumn to detect the time and duration of urination events during the grazing ...

In arid northwest China where the precipitation intensity is relatively low, the stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes (δ²H and δ¹⁸O) in precipitation are usually impacted by the sub-cloud evaporation. To understand the sub-cloud evaporation effect under an arid climate, we used the hourly meteorological data at 14 stations in the Kaxgar-Yarkant River Oasis, a rainshadow oasis of northwest China, an ...
