“…Our findings are crucial for providing early warnings of potential ecological crises induced by future global warming and human activities. 64 , 65 , 66 As ocean deoxygenation and acidification intensify, the threat of a sixth mass extinction increases, 67 , 68 particularly affecting marine organisms with low O 2 -carrying capacity, including foraminifera, radiolarians, corals, sponges, brachiopods, and bryozoans. These organisms appear to be underrepresented in conservation efforts, with many not being listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.…”

“…The contradiction arises from the linkage of SC change to CO 2 emission trajectory and projection term, owing to the varied impact of processes across timescales. This matter is crucial for projecting climate change under undetermined CO 2 emission trajectories toward carbon neutrality 56 – 59 . While various CMIP6 models consistently project a significant decline in SC, the extent of this decline varies among models, possibly resulting from factors of uncertainty such as sensitivity to CO 2 concentration, circulation response to uniform warming, and land–sea contrast strength.…”

The lower tropospheric subtropical circulation (SC) is characterized by monsoons and subtropical highs, playing an important role in global teleconnections and climate variability. The SC changes in a warmer climate are influenced by complex and region-specific mechanisms, resulting in uneven projections worldwide. Here, we present a method to quantify the overall intensity change in global SC, revealing a robust weakening across CMIP6 models. The weakening is primarily caused by global-mean surface warming, and partly counteracted by the direct CO2 effect. The direct CO2 effect is apparent in the transient response but is eventually dominated by the surface warming effect in a slow response. The distinct response timescales to global-mean warming and direct CO2 radiative forcing can well explain the time-varying SC changes in other CO2 emission scenarios. The declined SC implies a contracted monsoon range and drying at its boundary with arid regions under CO2-induced global warming.

“…Conservation and the use of carbon sink resources are considered key strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change [6]. Carbon sink resources, therefore, need to be strengthened, and the quantification of ecosystems needs to be promoted [7]. Forest, urban green space, and wetland ecosystems are common carbon sink ecosystems.…”

Climate change mitigation and carbon neutrality are current hot topics. Forests, urban green spaces, and wetland ecosystems are recognized as important carbon sinks. The Yangtze River Delta region in Eastern China, which plays a pivotal role in China’s economic and social development, is rich in such carbon-sink resources. There is, however, a lack of regional carbon data. The investigation of carbon storage and carbon densities of forest, urban green space, and wetland ecosystems is, therefore, of great importance. In this study, the forest resource management map (including wetland) and green space system planning map of Changzhou city, combined with a field investigation and laboratory experimental analysis, were used to estimate the carbon storages and carbon densities of the forest, urban green space, and wetland ecosystems in Changzhou city. The average carbon density and carbon storage in Changzhou were 83.34 ± 4.91 Mg C ha−1 and 11.30 ± 0.67 Tg C, respectively, of which soil accounted for 74%, plants accounted for 25%, and litter accounted for less than 1%. The forest ecosystem contributed the most to the carbon pool (72%), with the green space ecosystem and the wetland ecosystem each accounting for 14% of the carbon pools. Clearly, the forest, green space, and wetland ecosystems in Changzhou city have a large carbon storage capacity. This study is of significance as it provides data on the carbon sink functions of forest, green space, and wetland ecosystems at the provincial and national regional scales.
