The AA. examine the altitude dependence of trends of daily climate extremes in southwestern China between 1961 and 2008. A total of 12 indices of temperature extremes and 11 indices of precipitation extremes at 111 stations in southwestern China
sensitivity of climate extremes to elevation in southwestern China in the context of recent warming.
Hydro-climatic trends in the last 50 years in the lower reach of the Shiyang River Basin, NW China

The hydro-climatic trends were examined for the lower reach of the Shiyang River Basin in NW China using the wavelet analysis and the Mann–Kendall (M–K) test. The results showed that the discharge significantly decreased during the last 5 decades
of NW China, the contribution of glacier and snow to the discharge is significant. Therefore, the significantly increased temperature during the last 50 years would eventually lead to an increased discharge due to the increased amount of melt water from

This paper aims to investigate the spatial patterns of livestock and poultry breeding in China. Using statistical yearbook and agricultural survey in 2007, the county-level populations of livestock and poultry are estimated as equivalent
clustering trends of the 3 indicators are examined respectively. Furthermore, the thematic map series (TMS) and related gravity centers curve (GCC) are introduced to explore the spatial patterns of livestock and poultry in China. As a result, the China’s

from 2001 to 2010, and analyze the spatio-temporal characteristics and the variation of Chinese land surface emissivity over the last 10 years. The results show that the land surface emissivity in the northwest desert region is the lowest in China
, with little seasonal variations. In contrast, there are significant seasonal variations in land surface emissivity in northeast China and northern Xinjiang, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yangtze River Valley and the eastern and southern China.

To reduce uncertainties from upscaling spatial processes of the DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model for improving the definition of China's paddy soils SOC stocks (0-30 cm) and their changes from 1980 to 2008, a soil polygon-based modeling
method was developed by integrating DNDC with the latest 1:1,000,000 soil database, derived from 1490 paddy soil profiles collected during the Second National Soil Survey of China. There were, however, large regional differences in sequestration outcomes
. Increases in paddy soil SOC stocks were found predominantly in South, Eastern and Southwest China. Enhancement in the soil databases with higher resolution inputs should improve the C sequestration estimates of any area of interest.
