Biogeographical diversification of mainland Asian Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) and its implications for the historical dynamics of evergreen broad‐leaved forests (2016, positive): “Recent results have demonstrated that they play critical roles in biological conservation and regional carbon storage and cycling, and a better understanding of the establishment and the historical dynamics of the EBLFs is important for biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration, especially ”
New technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogenous fertilizer in China (2013, background): “N fertilizer has played an indispensable role in doubling crop yields in China during the past 3 decades (12) and is estimated to have contributed to a net gain in soil organic carbon of 85 Tg per year (13).”
Afforestation in China cools local land surface temperature (2014, background): “This afforestation contributed to increased carbon storage (3, 4) but also altered local energy budgets, which has the potential to offer feedback on local and regional climates (5–10).”
Detection and attribution of vegetation greening trend in China over the last 30 years (2015, background): “Thus, our results not only highlight the important role of China’s afforestation activity in explaining the spatial patterns of trend in vegetation growth, but also strongly suggest that those current carbon cycle models that do not account for land-use change cannot accurately quantify the ecosyste”
Reduced carbon emission estimates from fossil fuel combustion and cement production in China (2015, background): “%) is larger than the cumulative forest sink in 1990–2007 (2.66GtC) 9 or China’s land carbon sink in 2000–2009 (2.6GtC) 10 .”
China's Environmental Challenges and Implications for the World (2010, background): “72 On the other hand, some of the environmental pollution related to the economic boom reaches far beyond China's border.”
Carbon pools in China’s terrestrial ecosystems: New estimates based on an intensive field survey (2018, background): “The large proportion of soil to ecosystem carbon pool may be attributed to the low biomass carbon densities in China (8).”
Environmental Impact of the Production of Mealworms as a Protein Source for Humans – A Life Cycle Assessment (2012, background): “We consider the low LU of mealworms to be particularly important; effects of GHG emissions can be countered by carbon fixation [30], and forest regrowth and afforestation [5,31], depletion of fossil fuels can be countered by usage of alternative sources of energy [32,33], but land availability is fi”
Effects of national ecological restoration projects on carbon sequestration in China from 2001 to 2010 (2018, result): “3% of the total ecosystem C sink, differing from the findings of previous studies (6, 21).”
