Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine hampers the ability to adequately describe conditions across the Arctic, thus biasing the view on Arctic change. Here we benchmark the pan-Arctic representativeness of the largest high-latitude research station network, INTERACT, with or without Russian stations. Excluding Russian stations lowers representativeness markedly, with some biases being of the same magnitude as the expected shifts caused by climate change by the end of the century.

Recent climate change has caused an increase in warming-driven erosion and sediment transport processes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Yet a lack of measurements hinders our understanding of basin-scale sediment dynamics and associated spatiotemporal changes. Here, using satellite-based estimates of suspended sediment, we reconstruct the quantitative history and patterns of erosion and sediment transport in major headwater basins from 1986 to 2021. Out of 13 warming-affected headwater regions, …

In the context of global change, it is vital to comprehensively understand the spatial pattern and driving mechanism of vegetation growth to maintain the stability of watershed ecosystems. Previous research has focused mainly on identifying the main drivers of vegetation growth, while the direct and indirect effects of climate, terrain, and human activity on vegetation growth have rarely been explored. This study used the Minjiang River Basin (MRB), an important ecological barrier and the lar…

Soil loss by water erosion represents a key threat to land degradation worldwide. This study employs an integrated quantitative modelling approach to estimate its long-term global sustainability impacts. The global biophysical model estimates a mean increase of soil erosion rates of between 30 and 66% over the period 2015–2070 under alternative climate-economic scenarios, assuming different greenhouse gas concentration trajectories. In a subsequent step, projected soil erosion rates are conve…

Abstract. Vegetation productivity is a critical indicator of global ecosystem health and is impacted by human activities and climate change. A wide range of optical sensing platforms, from ground-based to airborne and satellite, provide spatially continuous information on terrestrial vegetation status and functioning. As optical Earth observation (EO) data are usually routinely acquired, vegetation can be monitored repeatedly over time, reflecting seasonal vegetation patterns and trends in ve…
Trade-offs and synergies of ecosystem services in karst multi-mountainous cities

Clarifying spatiotemporal changes in ecosystem services (ESs) and understanding the trade-offs and synergies among different services are crucial for effective ES management and regional sustainable development. In karst multi-mountainous cities (KMCs), the unique landscape pattern, fragile ecological environment, and intense human disturbance contribute to accelerated rocky desertification and degradation of ESs. Studying ES trade-offs and synergies provides scientific guidance for formulati…
Bispecific antibodies promote natural killer cell-mediated elimination of HIV-1 reservoir cells

T cells from people with HIV-1 on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with autologous NK cells and the scDbs resulted in marked elimination of reservoir cells that was dependent on latency reversal. Treatment of human interleukin-15 transgenic NSG mice with one of the scDbs after ART initiation enhanced NK cell activity and reduced reservoir size. Thus, HIV-1-specific scDbs merit further evaluation as potential therapeutics for clearance of the latent reservoir.
Long‐Term Landslide Evolution and Restoration After the Wenchuan Earthquake Revealed by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Images
Authors: Xin Wang, Xuanmei Fan, Chengyong Fang, Lanxin Dai, Wei Zhang, Hongrui Zheng et al.
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2023gl106422 · Citations: 42
Matched topics: land surface model
Abstract A powerful earthquake, particularly in mountainous regions, has the ability to trigger an immense number of landslides, resulting in severe damages. However, effectively assessing their recoveries in the years following the mainshocks has not yet been attempted due to the lack of continuously updated landslide inventories. Therefore, we proposed a novel detection framework utilizing time‐series Landsat images from 2000 to 2021, which enabled us to achieve a long‐term landslide invent…
