Recent research shows that China is experiencing significant greening, with afforestation
initiatives being the main cause. Quantitative calculation of vegetation change influencing …

China's economic growth has significantly increased emissions of tropospheric ozone (O 3)
precursors, resulting in increased regional O 3 pollution. We analyzed data from> 1400 …

China initiated the “Grain for Green Project” in 1999 to mitigate soil erosion. The vegetation

The reliable detection and attribution of changes in vegetation growth is a prerequisite for
the development of strategies for the sustainable management of ecosystems. This is an …

Urban heat island (UHI) is a major anthropogenic alteration on Earth environments and its
geospatial pattern remains poorly understood over large areas. Using MODIS data from …

Agricultural drought is a natural hazard arising from insufficient crop water supply. Many
