In this study the relationship between the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and climate in China in boreal winter are investigated. Correlation analysis for the last 41 years shows that the winter temperature and precipitation in China change in phase
Based on China's monthly precipitation data of 629 stations during 1950-2000, the AA. calculate Z indices and separate them into 7 Dryness and Wetness grades. Further, a drought area index is proposed to study changes in drought severity in northern
China. The results reveal that the different seveity of droughts all showed expanding trends in northern China's main agricultural area. Moreover, the area coverage of droughts in different seasons and different regions display different trends.
About 70 examples of Quaternary fauna in China's tropics are enumerated in this paper. Of which about 40% of the examples can be found even in cooling stages, showing the smaller amplitude of climatic fluctuation during Quaternary. According

Climate extremes for agricultural-pasture transitional zone, northern China are analyzed on the basis of daily mean temperature and precipitation observations for 31 stations in the period 1956-2001. Analysis season for precipitation is May

of the Gravel-Sand Mulched Fields (GSMF). The results show that surface gravel-sand mulch provides a more favorable environment for plant growth than non-mulched fields in the highly erodible loess area of northwest China.
