Abstract:
... River valleys are considered natural corridors for migration of plant species; however, there is a lack of studies confirming higher colonisation rates of plant species in these areas. We compare plant species richness between ancient and recent forests (developed during and after the nineteenth century) and those located in a river valley with those located outside the river valley. We hypothesis ...

Abstract:
... In 2020 summer, the excessive rainfall over the Yangtze and Huaihe River valley (YHRV) broke the record held since 1961, and the induced flood disasters caused huge losses. The record-breaking rainfall was primarily attributed to the abnormally strong western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH), characterized by a westward expansion to southern China. The extreme northern India Ocean (NIO) warming and ...

The present work documents an interdecadal-changed impact of distinct spring TPSC anomaly (TPSCA) patterns on spring precipitation over eastern China (SPEC) around the early 1990s. It is found that the connection between the eastern and wester ...

Abstract:
... The contribution of early human activity to the increase in atmospheric CH₄ content during the middle to late-Holocene is still debated. The quantitative reconstruction of past changes in land use by early rice agriculture is a key to resolving the issue, because large uncertainties still exist in current prehistoric land use estimates, owing to a lack of direct records. In this study, we used the ...
