Study Sheds Light on How Human Activities Shape Global Forest Structure
Researchers led by Dr. LI Wang from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have provided, for the first time, a panoramic view of global patterns in the multidimensional structure of forests. As part of their work, the researchers have discerned the relative importance of climate and human impacts as well as other environmental factors in shaping global forest structure, particularly that of PAs and IFLs.

Lakes on Roof of World Freeze Later and Melt Earlier under Changing Climate
The lakes on the roof of the world show a trend of later freezing-up, earlier breaking-up and thus shorten ice-covered duration since late 1970s, researchers report in the 2nd December Nature Scientific Data. The findings explicitly reflect the changes in thermodynamics of lakes under a warmer climate and implicate substantial associated alteration in biogeochemical processes in the region.
