A new study led by Prof. ZHANG Yongqiang from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has delivered a highly observation-constrained assessment of the global water cycle to date. The study integrates satellite-derived hydrological estimates, multi-model Earth system simulations, and long-term observations from 50 major river basins worldwide via an advanced Emergent Constraint framework.
A research team led by Prof. TIAN Hengci from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted extensive analysis of lunar basalts collected by Chang'e-6 from the South Pole–Aitken Basin. These samples exhibit significantly heavier potassium (K) isotopic compositions than all previously documented lunar basalts from the Apollo missions and lunar meteorites.
A research team led by Prof. FU Zheng at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, has developed a global isoscape of leaf carbon isotope discrimination for C₃ plants spanning 2001 to 2020.
A research team led by Prof. PANG Shaojun from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated that wakame (Undaria pinnatifida)—a kelp traditionally cultivated in temperate waters—can be grown to market size in subtropical Fujian Province using clonal sporophyte seedlings and a winter cultivation strategy.
A new study finds that despite continued growth in global fertilizer inputs, nutrient use efficiency in major crops has not improved correspondingly and remains generally low. This underscores that "high input, low efficiency" remains a systemic challenge facing global agriculture.
A research team from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a semi-automated microanalytical method to quantify atmospheric plastic particles and their cross-compartmental fluxes—airborne, dustfall, rain, snow, and dust resuspension—in two major Chinese megacities: Guangzhou and Xi'an.
