Field experiments were conducted in Yongan (28°09′N, 113°37′E, 43 m asl), Hunan Province, China in the late rice-growing season in 2017 and 2018. The site has a moist subtropical monsoon climate. Average daily solar radiation and mean temperature during the rice-growing season were 12.9 MJ m−2 d−1 and 25.7 °C in 2017 and 15.1 MJ m−2 d−1 […] More

Climate reconstruction Monthly climate data (temperature, precipitation and cloud cover) covering the past 50,000 years were obtained from the HadCM3 global circulation model46. These data are at 1000-year intervals between present and 22,000 years before present (BP) and at 2000-year intervals between 22,000 and 50,000 BP. The original simulation data on a 2.5° × 3.5° were bias […] More

EDITORIAL 18 February 2020 Global goals to reduce biodiversity loss will be revised this year. All eyes are on China, which must ensure the new targets are measurable and meaningful. River systems, such as this one in China, need better protection from encroaching industrialization.Credit: Costfoto/Barcroft Media/Getty Most measures of biodiversity suggest that things are going […] More
