Modulation of precession-forced Asian–African monsoon and arid climate variability by obliquity
Precession and obliquity play vital roles in orbital-scale climate change. However, their combined effects remain poorly understood. In this study, we examine how obliquity modulates precession-driven climate responses across Asian–African monsoon and arid regions (AAMAR). Result...

Establishing precise and accurate chronologies of mountain glacier fluctuations between the polar hemispheres can help test proposed hypotheses for millennial-scale climate changes during the last glaciation and the last glacial termination. Here, we address the relative phasing...

In river networks, small streams usually emit the largest proportion of greenhouse-gases (GHGs). However, the associated microbial mechanisms affected by the hierarchy of river systems are unclear. To address this, we measured N 2 O, CH 4 and CO 2 fluxes at 22 sites selected from...

Abstract Effective density ( ρ eff ) is a key physical property of atmospheric particles, yet it has rarely been investigated in free tropospheric environments. It is largely determined by chemical compositions and particle morphology, providing valuable insights into atmospheric...

Abstract The electrochemical hydrogenation of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) offers a sustainable route for biomass valorization, but the mechanistic origins of FA selectivity─particularly the suppression of radical-mediated C–C coupling─remain insufficiently resolved. He...

Thinning can improve the soil water conditions of forested land, decrease potential water stress, and enhance the drought resistance of trees by adjusting the stand density. However, the effect of thinning intensity on water consumption of plantations in semiarid regions remains...

AMOC Weakening Controls δ 18 O but Not Rainfall in North China During Deglacial Abrupt Events
Abstract East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) varied at orbital and millennial timescales during the Last Deglaciation (∼20–11 ka). The uniform δ 18 O response in East China is often linked to EASM circulation that drives a precipitation dipole in North and South China on orbital sca...

Abstract. Impacts of anthropogenic aerosols on clouds and snowfall during winter precipitation events remain highly uncertain, particularly under heavy pollution. A winter snowfall event over the Guanzhong Basin (GZB) and its surrounding regions (GZBs), China, has been simulated...

Abstract Photothermal CO2 methanation offers a promising strategy for carbon-neutral fuel production. However, simultaneously achieving high activity, selectivity, and long-term stability at low temperatures remains challenging due to inherent trade-offs in reaction kinetics and...

Understanding the interplay between climate variability and human activities is essential for assessing long-term river flood hazards. Yet, the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic drivers to flood magnitude remain poorly constrained due to limited multicentury rec...
