TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the spatiotemporal variation in diurnal temperature range (DTR) and discussed the reasons for the changes of DTR in China based on data from 479 weather stations from 1962 to 2011.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the changes of the start date of the vegetation growing season (SOS) for the temperate grasslands of China, and explored the possible effects of average monthly Tmax, Tmin and total precipitation on the SOS across different grassland vegetation types.

TL;DR: This study uses a state-of-the-art dendroecological approach to reconstruct long-term changes in the position of the alpine treeline in relation to air temperature at two sides in the Changbai Mountains in northeast China, and highlights the effects of rising temperatures on high-elevation vegetation dynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider extreme persistent precipitation by complete event with variable duration, rather than a fixed temporal period, is a necessary metric to account for the complexity of changing precipitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis method to determine the thresholds of extreme events and proposed an EP severity index (EPSI) combining both EP frequency and intensity, rather than separately analyzing the EP frequency or intensity.
