Chinese scientists are studying how the diversity of tree species in artificial forests could affect their carbon storage capacity. China is home to the world's largest expanse of artificial forests, comprising over a third of the global total. Scientists have found that more such forests don't necessarily translate into more carbon storage capacity. The location, the selection of tree species, the timing and maintenance all could make a difference.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences on Thursday published the research on carbon emissions from global forest fires, urging effective control of extreme forest fires and the inclusion of resultant emissions into the global carbon accounting system.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina have, in advance of the UN Climate Conference (COP 28) that begins on Nov. 30 in Dubai, announced the second joint Science for Future conference in Berlin/Germany in autumn 2024. The conference will focus on basic research aimed at achieving climate neutrality.

A group of Chinese researchers issued a data map of the soil organic carbon (SOC) content for global black soil regions, shedding light on the quantification of agro-ecosystems and global food security.

Researchers led by Prof. GAO Xiang from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and their collaborators have proposed a novel method to transform wastewater contaminants into valuable chemicals using sunlight, thus paving the way for sustainable and eco-friendly chemical manufacturing.

A research team led by Prof. ZHAO Hong and Prof. JIANG Biao from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute has proposed a novel sustainable coupling technology for carbon-to-acetylene process featuring negative carbon emission.

A research team led by Dr. YANG Dongxu from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics has established the Low-cost UAV Coordinated Carbon Observation Network (LUCCN) equipped with medium-accurate greenhouse gas sensors for CO₂ measurements.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute and their collaborators constructed a valid approach to detect spatial distribution of urban carbon emissions at micro level.
