Summary: As global temperatures rise, permafrost degradation has significant effects on vegetation phenology and community composition in the Xing'an Mountains. Analysis based on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) reveals the internal impact mechanisms of ecosystem components. The study highlights the delayed end and prolonged length of the growing season as a result of permafrost degradation.

Summary: Understanding variations in vegetation phenology is crucial for adapting to climate change and urbanization. However, there has been limited research on phenology in urban areas. This study focuses on Jinan city, China, using a local climate zone approach to investigate spatial and temporal variations in vegetation phenology. The results show that vegetation phenology in the study area generally exhibited advance, delay, and extension trends.

Summary: Chinese skiing tourism is developing rapidly, but it is vulnerable to the availability of snow resources and climate conditions. This study analyzed the spatial characteristics of snow resources, climate conditions, and ski resorts in China, and identified the potential impacts of climate change on ski resorts. It also proposed suggestions for assessing climate resources and spatial planning of ski resorts.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of weather conditions on the quality of Bordeaux wines, as determined by critics' scores. The findings suggest that higher rainfall, warmer temperatures, and earlier, shorter seasons contribute to higher quality wine production. The results have important implications for wine management and suggest that climate change may lead to improved quality of Bordeaux wines.

Summary: The timing and magnitude of grassland responses to drought within a growing season remain unresolved. This study used remote sensing data and weather data to investigate the impacts of drought on grasslands in the western US Great Plains biome. The results showed that grassland carbon uptake was reduced during drought, with larger reductions in the warmer and more southern regions. Increased summer vapor pressure deficit was strongly linked to reductions in vegetation greenness during drought.

Summary: Understanding the suite of environmental changes impacting migratory bird distributions and their mechanisms is crucial for predicting their responses to anthropogenic change. Comprehensive year-round distributional data and biologging technology are important for observing and understanding spatial changes across multiple migratory stages.

Summary: Based on satellite observations from 2001 to 2018, this study examines the direct and indirect impacts of urbanization on vegetation growth in 672 cities worldwide. It finds a widespread positive indirect effect of urbanization on vegetation growth, which has been increasing over time. These indirect effects are influenced by urban development intensity, population density, and background climate, with higher positive effects in cities with cold and arid environments. The study also suggests that the vegetation responses to urbanization are modulated by a cities' developmental status.

Summary: Climate change has a profound impact on pollination systems, potentially leading to mismatches in interactions between plants and pollinators and affecting pollination success. Despite some studies examining the effects of elevated CO2 on pollination interactions, there are important knowledge gaps that need to be addressed.

Summary: This study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of the end of the growing season (EOS) and extreme climate events in temperate and alpine grasslands of China from 1982 to 2015. It finds a significant advance trend of EOS in temperate grasslands and a slight delaying trend in alpine grasslands. The study also shows that extreme warm climate has a negative correlation with EOS in alpine grasslands. Therefore, understanding the effects of different extreme climate factors on autumn phenology and carbon cycling is crucial.

Summary: Under the influence of climate warming and human activities, large lakes worldwide have experienced an increase in eutrophication and algal blooms. This study utilizes daily satellite observations to develop an algorithm that accurately identifies the spatiotemporal distribution of algal bloom dynamics in large lakes. The findings show positive trends in bloom area, frequency, and an earlier bloom time, with climate factors and human activities identified as key drivers.

Summary: The article discusses the impact of climate change on biodiversity and the use of Nature based solutions (Nbs) to address this issue. Climate change is a major driver of mass extinction, shifts in species location, changes in species composition and phenology, decline in ecosystem services, and outbreaks of plant and animal diseases. Habitat modification, overexploitation, climate change, invasive alien species, and chains of extinction are the main factors contributing to biodiversity loss. The article emphasizes the importance of nature based solutions such as protecting intact ecosystems, managing working lands, and restoring native cover for mitigating climate change and protecting biodiversity.

Summary: This study examines the movements, physiology, and ecology of North Pacific albacore tuna following different migratory pathways. The results show that there is high variability in migration behaviors and energy intake. No migratory strategy consistently provides higher energetic benefits. Tuna remaining resident in the southern California Current year-round have lower migration costs and access favorable foraging conditions off Baja California in spring and summer.

Summary: The study analyzed a marine fish species Labrus bergylta from Norway to Spain, finding a clear latitudinal gradient of genomic differentiation associated with phenotypic morph frequencies. Reproductive isolation was observed between sympatric color morphs at southern areas, providing new insights into genomic changes preceding speciation with gene flow.

Summary: Collaborating with the Greenlandic fishing fleet, researchers have documented the presence of Atlantic bluefin tuna in Greenland waters, mainly preying on Atlantic mackerel. The tunas vary in size and age, with a wide range of individuals from different year classes migrating to the region. The summer residence of bluefin tuna in the area could be attributed to increasing sea temperatures and higher abundances of both bluefin tuna and their key prey species.

Summary: This study analyzed growth rates of bluefin tuna young-of-the-year in the Mediterranean, finding no significant differences in growth rates between 2013 and 2016, but observing significantly faster growth rates in the eastern region compared to the western and central regions. Research on hatching windows revealed two distinct spawning pulses in the central region, indicating the potential existence of different bluefin tuna contingents spawning at different times.
