To accurately monitor the phenology of net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) in grasslands with remote sensing, we analyzed the variations in NEE and its phenology in the steppe and discussed the remote sensing vegetation index thresholds for NEE phenology, with the observational data from the Inner Mongolia Xilinhot National Climate Observatory's eddy covariance system and meteorological gradient observation system during 2018-2021, as well as Sentinel-2 satellite data from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021. Results showed that, from 2018 to 2021, NEE exhibited seasonal variations, with carbon sequestration occurring from April to October and carbon emission in other months, resulting in an overall carbon sink. The average Julian days for the start date (SCUP) and the end date (ECUP) of carbon uptake period were the 95 and 259 days, respectively, with an average carbon uptake period lasting 165 days.

Coastal estuarine wetland ecosystem has strong ability for carbon (C) storage and sequestration. Accurate assessment of C sequestration and its environmental impact factors is the basis of scientific protection and mana-gement of coastal estuarine wetlands. Taking the Panjin reed () wetland as the object, we used terrestrial ecosystem model, together with Mann-Kendall mutation test, statistical analysis methods, and scenario simulation experiment, to analyze the temporal characteristics, stability, changing trend of net ecosystem production (NEP) of wetlands and the contribution rate of environmental impact factors to NEP during 1971 to 2020.

Under the warming background, precipi-tation was the main influencing factor of the withered and yellow phenology. Increasing precipitation postponed the occurrence time of both the beginning and the peak of the withered and yellow phenology, and prolonged the duration of the withered and yellow phenology.

Global vegetation has been reported to be turning greener, especially in China and India. The Yellow River Basin is one of the most prominent greening areas in China. While some studies have attributed vegetation greening to large-scale ecological restoration efforts, our study focuses on the role of climate change in vegetation greening.

Crop water deficit status characterized by land surface-air temperature difference (T-T) has been widely investigated. However, empirical evidence for characteristics and impact factors of T-T considering the process of crop growth are less yet, which restricts the accurate simulation of T-T. Here, the data of T-T during the process of maize growth were obtained from five irrigation water control experiments after the period of summer maize 3-leaf stage in 2014 and jointing stage in 2015.

Photosynthate allocation is critical to crop growth and biomass formation, and it is also a key part of crop simulation. A photosynthate allocation model of maize was established based on photosynthate allocation mechanisms as well as the photosynthate allocation characteristics of maize at different stages. This model was then coupled with the CO assimilation module of WOFOST crop model to simulate the biomass dynamics of different organs of maize on daily scale.

We measured leaf photosynthetic and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters as well as leaf area, dry biomass, and nitrogen content of different plant functional types (PFTs) at the Beijing Botanical Garden, and analyzed the leaf economics spectrum (LES) among different PFTs. The results showed that the plants with the life form of grasses, those with an annual type of life history, and with a C4 photosynthetic pathway might provide a quick return on investment for the species located at one end of the LES. Similarly, the plants with a life form of trees and shrubs, with a perennial type of life history, and with a C3 photosynthetic pathway might provide a slower return on investment for the species located at the other end of the LES.

It is a key factor to determine the water status of terrestrial ecosystems, and is also the main source of water supply for crops. In order to estimate soil moisture at different soil depths at a station scale, based on the energy balance equation and the water deficit index (WDI), a soil moisture estimation model was established in terms of the remote sensing data (the normalized difference vegetation index and surface temperature) and air temperature.

Based on the continuous observations on the land-atmosphere flux exchange and the meteorological and biological elements in a maize field at the Jinzhou Agricultural Ecosystem Research Station in Liaoning Province of Northeast China from 2006 to 2008, and by using the dynamic roughness (z0) and zero-displacement (d) parameterization scheme considering the effects of leaf area index, canopy height and wind speed at different developmental stages of maize, the BATS1e model was modified, and applied to investigate the effects of dynamic aerodynamic parameters on the flux exchange between maize agroecosystem and atmosphere. Compared with the original model, the drag coefficient (C(D)) simulated by the modified model increased, and its diurnal variation was more obvious with increasing vegetation coverage, which was more accordant with practical circumstances. The simulation accuracies of sensible heat (H), latent heat (lambdaE) and soil heat flux were improved in varying degree, and the Nash-Sutcliffes (NSs) were increased by 0.

To clarify the leading climate factors affecting the distribution of single cropping rice planting region in China at national and annual temporal scales and to reveal the potential distribution and climatic suitability divisions of this planting region in China could not only provide scientific basis for optimizing the allocation of single cropping rice production, modifying planting pattern, and introducing fine varieties, but also ensure the food security of China. In this paper, the potential climate factors affecting the single cropping rice distribution in China at regional and annual scales were selected from related literatures, and the single cropping rice geographic information from the national agro-meteorological observation stations of China Meteorological Administration (CMA), together with the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) and spatial analyst function of Arc-GIS software, were adopted to clarify the leading climate factors affecting the potential distribution of single cropping rice planting region in China, and to construct a model about the relationships between the potential distribution of the planting region and the climate. The results showed that annual precipitation, moisture index, and days of not less than 18 degrees C stably were the leading climate factors affecting the potential distribution of single cropping rice planting region in China, with their cumulative contribution rate reached 94.
