Contribution of urbanization to warming in China
TLDR
In this paper, a detection and attribution analysis separates the contribution of all external forcings, and shows that urbanization accounts for about one-third (0.5°C) of the total warming signal in China.Abstract:
The contribution of urbanization to warming in China has been difficult to quantify owing to the proximity of rural stations to urban areas. A novel detection and attribution analysis separates the contribution of all external forcings, and shows that urbanization accounts for about one-third (0.5 °C) of the total warming signal in China (1.4 °C).read more

Contribution of urbanization to the increase of extreme heat events in an urban agglomeration in east China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the contributions of urbanization to trends of summer extreme temperature indices (ETIs) in YRD and quantified the amplification of the positive trends in ETIs by the urban heat island effect.

Environmental degradation in the urban areas of China: Evidence from multi-source remote sensing data
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors developed a comprehensive evaluation index (CEI) combining the remote sensing data of the fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) concentration, land surface temperature (LST) and vegetation cover (VC) to assess the urban environmental change in China at the national scale, among urban agglomerations and across the rapidly urbanized regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show well-established evidence that climate drivers of tropical and extra-tropical origin, such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the North Atlantic Oscillations (NAO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), the Madden-Julian Oscillator (MJO), and the Arctic OscillATION (ARO) influence the region's weather and climate on multiple spatio-temporal scales.

Quantifying the contributions of human activities and climate change to vegetation net primary productivity dynamics in China from 2001 to 2016
TL;DR: Preipitation played a decisive role in vegetation changes in arid and semi-arid regions, temperature was the dominant factor for alpine vegetation dynamics, and solar radiation was beneficial to vegetation growth in most areas of China.

Rapid increase in the risk of extreme summer heat in Eastern China
TL;DR: The authors estimates anthropogenic influence to have caused a greater than 60-fold increase in the likelihood of extreme summer heat and projects that hot summers will continue to increase in frequency and five of the hottest summers have occurred since 2000.
