Abstract:
Abstract Over the past decades, human activities have directly or indirectly driven the land surface changes in eastern China. These anthropogenic forcings could trigger biochemical feedback and alter the surface biophysical properties, thus affecting local temperature. However, the latter is recognized as the “noise” and ignored when assessing historical or future climate. Here, we adopt the “observation minus reanalysis” (OMR) method to isolate the biophysical temperature footprint of multiple surface changes in eastern China over 2001–2018, using remote sensing land surface temperature and reanalysis skin temperature. A spatial regression model was used to separate the contributions from different processes. We find the biophysical feedbacks of surface changes have an annual cooling effect of −0.072 K/decade in eastern China, and the contributions from urban expansion, agricultural development, and natural vegetation greening are 0.042, −0.042, and −0.072 K/decade, correspondingly. The Northeast Plain shows agricultural activities induced cooling of −0.040 K/decade; the Loess Plateau shows natural vegetation recovery dominated cooling of −0.145 K/decade; the Huang‐Huai‐Hai Plain demonstrates a predominant urbanization warming effect of 0.124 K/decade; the Middle‐lower Yangtze shows natural vegetation greening related cooling of −0.106 K/decade. Both the intensity of the land surface changes and the temperature sensitivities drive the large spatial variability of the temperature effect. Overall, the temperature effects of surface changes are spatially heterogeneous and show considerable magnitudes. We emphasize that vegetation changes in eastern China show a strong surface cooling effect, and may contribute to the regional climate mitigation in the context of global warming.Keywords:

In order to explore the effective way of greening under the situation which have a growing family but a reducing greening land in China, based on the investigations and analysis of the characteristics, forms and plant selections of space greening in cities, the paper points out that the space greening is a rapid efficient and economical form of greening. It will be one of the important ways of greening in Chinese cities. And the suggestions and measures about the development of space greening in cities are put forward.

Vines are a group of plant that cannot stand erectly by themselves;they need to draw support from other plant or backstop to grow upwardly.Vines have many virtues,which are growing rapidly,needing land few,greening area largely,planting or managing easily.They are widely used in urban greening,especially in vertical greening.The urban vertical greening may divide into six forms:wall greening,column greening,fence greening,slope greening,pergola greening and roof greening.Vines' characteristics and application principles were summarized,and various selection and disposition technology of vines in different vertical greening were introduced.

Vines are characterized by growing rapidly,occupying less space,giving larger greening area and easy planting or management.They are widely used in urban greening,especially in vertical greening.Application of vines in the urban greening was discussed with respects to its form and rules.

The importance of city vertical greening appeared increasingly at present.Several main application forms such as architecture greening,wall greening,balcony greening,roof greening and overpass greening were introduced in this paper.And the plant selection and application principles for each application form were advanced according to the characteristics of different application forms.
