Climate change has increased heatwave frequency, duration, and intensity globally, which is expected to worsen under warmer conditions. Understanding heatwave variabilities is crucial for the ecosystem and human health they impact, yet comprehensive assessments over China at different spatiotemporal scales remain limited. This study evaluates 12 NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections' CMIP6 (NEX‐GDDP‐CMIP6) do...

Aim Biodiversity patterns along elevational gradients have been well documented for vascular plants and terrestrial vertebrates, but we know relatively little about the elevational patterns of bryophytes and their underlying mechanisms, especially the effect of forest microclimate on epiphytic and non‐epiphytic bryophytes. Here we study the influence of microclimates on the richness of epiphytic and non‐epiphytic bryophytes as...

While water and sediment microbial communities exhibit pronounced spatio‐temporal patterns in freshwater lakes, the underlying drivers are yet poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the importance of spatial and temporal variation in abiotic environmental factors for bacterial and microeukaryotic community assembly and distance–decay relationships in water and sediment niches in Hongze Lake. By sampling across the whole lake du...

Clonorchis sinensis , an important fish‐borne zoonotic trematode, is widely distributed in South‐East Asia, especially in China. Infections from human and animal reservoir hosts occur due to the consumption of raw or undercooked fish with C. sinensis metacercariae. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of C. sinensis metacercariae in fish in South‐East Asia via systematic review and meta‐analysis. We searched PubMed, Sci...

Understanding the dynamics and underlying mechanism of carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere is one of the key issues in global change research. In this study, we quantified the carbon fluxes in different terrestrial ecosystems in China, and analyzed their spatial variation and environmental drivers based on the long‐term observation data of China FLUX sites and the published data from other flux si...
