Researchers led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture have found that maize cultivation and tree felling three hundred years ago triggered severe rocky desertification in the karst area of southwest China.
Researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics found that during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, temperature changes seem to be the main reason for the jet's shift north. They think this happens because changes in temperature structure are the fundamental rule governing how air moves around the globe.
A research group led by Prof. WU Jinshui from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture and Fuzhou University has investigated the changes in bacterial and micro-eukaryotic community composition in constructed wetland over one year. Now, they have revealed complex processes of wastewater treatment by microbial components in full-scale surface flow constructed wetlands.
Researchers led by Prof. ZENG Fanjiang from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have examined how different root system architectures of desert plant species can influence nutrient and carbon cycling under climatic and human-induced changes.
A research group led by Prof. HUANG Diying from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology has systematically studied fossil water striders from the mid-Cretaceous of northern Myanmar (about 100 million years ago) in recent years. Now they have presented the first fossil record of a group of water striders in copulation.
Dr. ZHANG Yuxiang of Prof. ZENG Zhigang's team from the Institute of Oceanology, together with Prof. Turner Simon from Macquarie University and Prof. HUANG fang of University of Science and Technology of China, found that a combination of Ba-Sr-Nd isotopes could effectively identify the presence of recycled altered oceanic crust in arc magmas.
