TL;DR: It is found that notwithstanding the clear warming that has occurred in China in recent decades, current understanding does not allow a clear assessment of the impact of anthropogenic climate change on China’s water resources and agriculture and therefore China's ability to feed its people.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three long-term satellite leaf area index (LAI) records and ten global ecosystem models to investigate four key drivers of LAI trends during 1982-2009.

TL;DR: Investigating the impacts of temperature on yields of the four crops by compiling extensive published results from four analytical methods consistently showed negative temperature impacts on crop yield at the global scale, generally underpinned by similar impacts at country and site scales.

TL;DR: China’s carbon emissions are re-evaluated using updated and harmonized energy consumption and clinker production data and two new and comprehensive sets of measured emission factors for Chinese coal, finding that total energy consumption in China was 10 per cent higher in 2000–2012 than the value reported by China's national statistics, and that emission factors are on average 40 per cent lower than the default values recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

TL;DR: The second version of the living review paper dedicated to the decadal methane budget, integrating results of top-down studies (atmospheric observations within an atmospheric inverse-modeling framework) and bottom-up estimates (including process-based models for estimating land surface emissions and atmospheric chemistry, inventories of anthropogenic emissions, and data-driven extrapolations) as discussed by the authors.
