TL;DR: The cascading effects of rising temperatures and loss of ice and snow in the region are affecting, for example, water availability, biodiversity, biodiversity and ecosystem boundary shifts, and global feedbacks.

TL;DR: In this article, the main driving forces of biodiversity loss are livelihood activities, including agricultural production, livestock grazing and the collection of fuel wood, construction timber and NTFPs in northwest Yunnan, a global biodiversity hotspot in China and home to over five million people.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine two of China's nascent national, large-scale forestry programs: the Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) and the National Forest Protection Program (NFPP).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper synthesize 133 papers from China on the impacts of land use conversion and improved management practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) in China's grasslands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a GHG emission factor for synthetic nitrogen fertilizer application in China and used this emission factor to estimate the scale of GHG emissions from synthetic nitrogen use in Chinese agriculture and explore the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emission from efficiency improvements in synthetic nitrogen production and use.
