Top 40 questions in coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) research
Published on June 30, 2017
Understanding and managing coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) is a central challenge of the 21st century, but more focus is needed to pursue the most important questions within this vast field given limited research capacity and funding. -
Hidden roles of protected areas in the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services
Published on June 26, 2017
Using field and remotely sensed data, we evaluated how representative of the plant biodiversity pool and of carbon sequestration is a network of nature reserves specifically established for the conservation of a target species, the giant panda. -
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS -- Climate variability and trends at a national scale
Published on June 12, 2017
Examining the daily minutia of climate, not just temperature, but also sunshine, precipitation and soil moisture simultaneously all over a country gives a better understanding of how variable a land’s climate can be. -
Modeling activity patterns of wildlife using time- series analysis
Published on May 30, 2017
The study of wildlife activity patterns is an effective approach to understanding fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes -
Reply to Bridgewater and Babin: Need for a new protected area category for ecosystem services
Published on May 30, 2017
We thank Bridgewater and Babin for their perspective. We are aware of, and appreciate, the consideration of ecosystem services in the management of Biosphere Reserves. -
Divergent responses of sympatric species to livestock encroachment at fine spatiotemporal scales
Published on March 21, 2017
Livestock are a major human-induced threat to wildlife worldwide, especially in forest landscapes where livestock degrade the food and habitat of forest-dwelling wildlife -
ELEMENTA - SCIENCE OF THE ANTHROPOCENE -- Telecoupling framework for research on migratory species in the Anthropocene
Published on March 5, 2017
We apply the telecoupling framework to Kirtland’s warblers (Setophaga kirtlandii ), a conservation-reliant migratory songbird. -
JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE AGRICULTURE -- Telecoupled land-use changes in distant countries
Published on February 16, 2017
A study of the spatial attributes of soybean land changes within and among trading countries at the same time. -
Strengthening protected areas for biodiversity and ecosystem services in China
Published on February 1, 2017
We report a nationwide assessment for China, quantifying the provision of threatened species habitat and four key regulating services—water retention, soil retention, sandstorm prevention, and carbon sequestration—in nature reserves. -
SCIENCE CHINA - LIFE SCIENCES -- Conservation planning beyond giant pandas: the need for an innovative telecoupling framework

ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY -- New road for telecoupling global prosperity and ecological sustainability
Published on November 4, 2016
We apply the integrated framework of telecoupling and propose to enhance infrastructure connection, transboundary actions, scientific and cultural exchanges, and institutional innovations within the Belt and Road region. -
Urban water sustainability: framework and application
Published on October 12, 2016
Urban areas such as megacities (those with populations greater than 10 million) are hotspots of global water use and thus face intense water management challenges -
Habitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas
Published on September 30, 2016
Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation. -
Variation of soil hydraulic properties with alpine grassland degradation in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau
Published on August 8, 2016
In this study, soil field capacity (FC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) together with several basic soil properties under light degraded (LD), moderate degraded (MD) and severe degraded (SD) alpine swamp meadow were investigated. -
Improvements in ecosystem services from investments in natural capital
Published on June 16, 2016
We report on China’s first national ecosystem assessment. -
ENERGY -- Energy sustainability under the framework of telecoupling
Published on April 5, 2016
Telecouplings widely exist in energy systems with various forms and link energy sustainability of different countries closely, so we proposed some methods for energy sustainability analysis under the framework of telecoupling. -
Effects of conservation policy on China's forest recovery
Published on March 18, 2016
