by surface albedo changes in China's 50 ecological regions were calculated to reveal the biophysical mechanisms of land cover change affecting climate change at regional scale. The results showed that the national land cover changes were mainly caused by land
reclamation, grassland desertification and urbanization in past 20 years, which were almost induced by anthropogenic activities. The mean radiative forcing caused by land cover changes during 1990–2010 in China indicates a warming climate effect.
The water quality in the surface microlayer (SML) and subsurface water (SSW) in the Guangzhou segment of Pearl River, a eutrophic urban river section in China, were analyzed. The spatial and temporal dynamics of nutrient concentrations, heavy metals

Drawing upon postcolonial environmental history, animal ecology, and more-than-human geography, this paper examines how humans and elephants cohabit with and against the grain of cartographic design in Assam. It conceptualises and deploys
a methodology of ‘tracking’ through which archival material, elephant ecology, and voices of the marginalised can be integrated and mapped. It concludes by discussing the implications of this work for fostering new conversations between more-than-human geography
