- 使用CMIP6数据进行沙漠化预测的多变量基于像素的回归模型的开发.
主要成果:
- 在2000年至2021年期间,卡伊达姆盆地的严重荒漠化减少了13% (35,766平方公里),而非荒漠化和轻度荒漠化地区的增加.
- 与2000-2010年相比,2011-2021年荒漠化逆转的速度减缓,这与温度和降水趋势的下降有关.
- 根据各种共享社会经济路径 (SSP) 的未来预测 (2015年至100年) 表明植被覆盖面正在下降,这表明荒漠化趋势正在恶化.
结论:
- 虽然沙漠化的严重程度最初有所下降,但未来气候变化的影响,包括冰川融化和减少的水资源,预计将使卡伊达姆盆地沙漠化恶化,特别是在东北部的兰山脉.

Global Climate Change
24.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Responses to Salt Stress
12.9K
Salt stress—which can be triggered by high salt concentrations in a plant’s environment—can significantly affect plant growth and crop production by influencing photosynthesis and the absorption of water and nutrients.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
25.1K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Threats to Biodiversity
22.1K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
