Through my research and international
activities, I learned that the environmental
issues in Central Asia need to be addressed
urgently!

The National Research Council on March 12 released a report,Informing Decisions in a Changing Climate, that concludes we are “unprepared, both conceptually and practically” for climate change and that it is no longer valid to base decisions on the assumption of continued climatic conditions of the past.

Science Questions
• To what extent have human activities affected regional climate change?
• To what extent has the climate change affected ecosystems?
• How to discern the human impacts on China’s ecosystem dynamics from climate impacts?

Approach 1:Observational and Statistical Modeling• Remote sensing – temporal change
– GIMMS (1982-2006) and MODIS (2000-2007) time series
– In phenological and carbon/biomass
• Time series analysis with TIMESAT– Calculate the biomass
• Correlations analysis biomass – climate – Correlation coefficients: percentage of explanation– Examine residuals: percentage of explanation?

Conclusions
• Remote sensing, long term monitoring data can be very useful to study ecosystem changes
• Statistical approaches are useful in understanding the drivers of changes (discern climate cause from human impacts)
• Biogeochemical models (DNDC) incorporate human and climate into a system to quantitatively assess ecosystem responses to both climate and human drivers
• More research is needed to investigate the change patterns and their linkages to specific policy implementations (on going)
• On-going research focuses on fine resolution MODIS type data for other land cover types
