“…First, OTCs often reduced soil moisture by passively heating a small vegetation plot by capturing more solar radiation and intercepting more rainfall events, which would potentially bias phenological responses to warming. Second, OTCs might act as barriers to wind flow and pollinator movement (Dong et al, 2023), although some studies found no significant effect of OTC installation on insect flower visitors (Robinson & Henry, 2018). Third, in contrast to active warming system that has a uniform warming magnitude on ecosystems, the impact of OTC on the magnitude of warming varies seasonally, with a lower magnitude in summer and higher ones during winter and spring seasons on our permafrost-affected site.…”

The Tibetan Plateau holds the world's largest alpine permafrost and is undergoing an acceleration of warming. Phenological shifts over alpine permafrost in a warmer world have been little studied and are greatly underrepresented in current syntheses. Here, we conducted seasonal and gradient temperature‐controlled experiments in a permafrost‐affected meadow to evaluate how warming drives shifts in spring and autumn phenology, and associated growing‐season length at both community and species levels. We found that there is no sign of slowdown in spring advance with warming under a higher year‐around warming treatment, aligning with a future medium warming scenario. Although spring advance led to an advance in autumn senescence according to spring‐only warming experiments, the advance could not offset the delay due to concurrent warming. As a result, year‐around warming significantly delayed autumn senescence, although there was a deceleration in delay with warming under high temperature treatment than under the low one. This finding can be attributed to the possibility that winter warming is insufficient to reduce chilling accumulation, which would not delay spring phenology and then lead to a non‐slowdown in spring phenological advancement. Taken together, there is no slowdown in an extension of growing season length with warming under a higher year‐around warming treatment, with an increase of length by 9 and 21 days at the end of this century under a CO2 stabilization and medium warming scenarios, respectively. Synthesis. Our results suggest that a continued growing season extension at least under the medium warming scenario would help permafrost‐affected meadow ecosystems to mitigate permafrost carbon release on the Tibetan Plateau.

“…We focused on pixels of vegetation in the temperate terrestrial ecosystems of Northern Hemisphere (>30°N) for 1982-2015, where the dynamics of vegetation phenology were strongly seasonal. We excluded pixels with an annual mean NDVI < 0.1 to reduce the effect of sparse vegetation 53 . We identified pixels with a continuous daily average temperature <0 °C for at least five days as the snow-contaminated phase and replaced them with the NDVI of the nearest snow-free date 54 to minimise the impact of snow.…”

SummaryClimate change is drastically affecting the phenologies of species worldwide, including shifts in development1–3. The potential impact of climate change on the synchronicity of plant-insect phenology is particularly concerning since the stability of pollination networks and food chains depends on their tight temporal dependencies4–6. Furthermore, the recently reported “insect armageddon”7makes it urgent to establish trends and identify primary drivers of plant-insect phenological synchrony. Here, coupling high-resolution remote sensing and citizen science data across Europe over 34 years, we examine the differences in occurrence dates of 1,584 herbivorous insects across four orders and the corresponding dates of leaf unfolding. We find that 61.2% of the vegetation and insect phenologies have become highly asynchronous, with vegetation phenology advancing four-fold faster than insect phenology. These trends were modulated by insects’ life-cycles and taxonomic order. A primary driver of this phenological mismatch is the higher sensitivity of vegetation phenology than insect phenology to climate, which has prevented insects from matching the pace of plant phenological advance in the growing season. Our analyses provide a unique continental overview and underlying mechanisms of the asynchronicity between vegetation and insect phenologies, thus enhancing our ability to predict and manage its potential cascading ecological effects.

“…Conversely, the entire JJJ region fell within the category of cold spots, primarily due to extensive urban construction, which resulted in a lower balance of ESs [47]. Past studies indicated that topography, vegetation biomass, and climatic factors influence the supply capacity of ESs [24,48,49]. We conducted a partial correlation analysis on the total ESs balance and temperature, precipitation, and DEM using the pcorr function from the pandas library [50].…”

In the context of the global decline in the capacity of ecosystem services (ESs) to meet increasing human demands, assessing and quantifying ESs is crucial for ecological policy formulation. To address this, our study employs an adjusted land-use matrix method and the patch-generating land-use simulation (PLUS) model for a quantitative analysis of the ES balance in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei–Inner Mongolia (JJJM) region from 2000 to 2020, projecting to 2040. Focusing on the JJJM region, a focal area for ecological policy exhibits significant socioeconomic disparities, revealing a synergistic interplay in the ESs balance. Areas with high vegetation cover, like forests and grasslands, demonstrate an elevated ESs balance, with Inner Mongolia having the highest total ESs balance at 71.40. Conversely, highly urbanized areas, such as Beijing and Tianjin, face deficits in the ESs balance, with Tianjin recording the lowest at 17.83. Our results show an upward trend in total ESs balance in the JJJM region (slope: 0.08 year−1). In particular, regulating services are declining (slope: −0.04 year−1), cultural services are increasing (slope: 0.08 year−1), and provisioning services remain relatively stable. Projecting to 2040, our analysis indicates a slight decline in ESs balance, attributed to Inner Mongolia’s urban expansion. This emphasizes the need for industrial transfers and proactive urbanization promotion to enhance ESs balance and support sustainable management and ecological civilization development in the JJJM region.
