The patterns of summer dryness and wetness in easternChina
The objective of this study is to evaluate quantitatively the spatial distribution, the year-to-year variation, and the regionalization of summer dryness and wetness in easternChina. Application of a cluster analytical technique to evaluate
Vegetation and environment of EasternChina in the cold stages of the Quaternary
In the cold stages of the Quaternary, steppe vegetation was dominant over easternChina as a consequence of longterm aridity. In the South China floral region, subtropical coniferous forests extended widely over plains and hills. Many relic taxa
of hydrophilic and/or thermophilic plants have survived in sanctuaries. The impact of cold climate in the Quaternary might be limited in severity and extent in easternChina.

temperature and precipitation data from 205 meteorological stations in easternChina. The results indicate that as a whole, the response of vegetation NDVI to the variation of temperature is more pronounced than that of precipitation in easternChina.
Contents of dissolved humic substances in the rivers of EasternChina
The objectives of this study are to measure the contents of humic substances in water, suspended solids and sediments of rivers in EasternChina and to examine the origin of the dissolved humic substances in these rivers.
A study on climatic resources and allocation of economic forest/fruit in the eastern part of the subtropical region of China

The vertical and horizontal distributions of light, heat and water resources in the eastern part of the subtropical region of China are studied. The vertical stratification model of agroclimatic resources was developed by taking the comprehensive
The open economic coastal zone in EasternChina : its formation conditions, areal differentiation and development orientation
The advantages of the eastern coastal economic zone and its role in the country's economic construction as well as its relationship with the western zone are discussed.
Climatic problems of Quaternary glaciation in the EasternChina mountains.
A discussion of an earlier paper by Fu about evidence for glaciation in east China during the Riss based largely on vegetation species. Argument is also drawn from contradictions of snowfall figures and high summer mean temperatures which disturbs
This study discusses the temporal-spatial variations of droughts and floods in the eastern part of China by using the physical meaning of coefficients in the Walsh Function theory. Eight patterns of droughts and floods as well as a chronological

Based on the drought/flood grades of 90 meterological stations over easternChina and summer average sea-level pressure (SLP) during 1850–2008 and BPCCA statistical methods, the coupling relationship between the drought/flood grades and the East
Asian summer SLP is analyzed. The results show that there are 4 typical drought and flood spatial distribution patterns in easternChina, i.e. the distribution of drought/flood in southern China is contrary to the other regions. It is suggested
Sea level changes in EasternChina during the past 20,000 years.
Along the coast of the easternChina and on the adjacent shelf, geomorphological sedimentological and biological evidences, related to ancient strandline were found and dated by radiocarbon method. The curve and model of sea level changes during

This paper discusses with the aid of GIS technology the whole trend and spatio-temporal characteristics of arable land losing and land occupation for construction in the coastal area of China over the last decade, analyzes the dominant factors
and mechanisms of land-use change, and attempts to provide some suggestions for the decision-making of optimal land use to promote urban-rural balanced development and new socialist countryside construction in coastal China.
This article gives a survey of the question of Pleistocene glaciations in the area of the Loess Plateau (Central China) and the results of the latest field investigations in the years 1989 and 1993.
