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: 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: It is found that northeast China is a net source of CO2 to the atmosphere owing to overharvesting and degradation of forests, and southern China accounts for more than 65 per cent of the carbon sink, which can be attributed to regional climate change, large-scale plantation programmes active since the 1980s and shrub recovery.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-year field experiment was conducted to simultaneously measure methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from rice paddies under various agricultural managements including water regime, crop residue incorporation, and synthetic fertilizer application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of plant residues decomposition on N2O emission was investigated for a period of 21 days using urea and five plant residues with a wide range of C:N ratios from 8 to 118.
