ABSTRACT To improve the environment and mitigate climate change, China has implemented ambitious projects for natural forest protection expanded planted forests. However, increased variability led to more frequent severe droughts, exacerbating decline of these The drought risk forests is rarely assessed by considering both resistance resilience, comparative analyses between are lacking. Here, we compared resilience in across using satellite observations from 2001 2020 understand which were at higher drought. results showed that exhibited lower forests, particularly subtropical broad‐leaved evergreen warm temperate deciduous Moreover, significantly increased, while decreased during 2011–2020 2001–2010, suggesting a shift strategies cope with stress. was mainly attributed canopy height poorer soil nutrients, limited resistance, characteristics (severity, duration, frequency), reduced resilience. These underscore potential exposure future impacts on under enhanced management strategies, including preservation augmentation structural diversity imperative.

Abstract As the upward trend in extreme drought continues with climate change, terrestrial vegetation growth is assumed to become largely reduced. We investigated anomalies of remote sensing indexes under droughts across upper Yangtze River (UYR) basin, characterized as humid but having experienced frequent seasonal from 2000. Then we compared global big river basins by focusing on Nile and Congo basins, which have similar characteristics UYR. The UYR was affected water stress recent years shows reduced sensitivity drought. compound effect timing phenology drives response. Results show that late‐season generally a greater impact early season droughts, alpine grasslands showing particularly pronounced responses due their ecological features such shallow root depth aggressive hydrological behavior. exhibits vulnerability, highlighting shared patterns heterogeneous landscapes. In contrast, tropical rainforests basin demonstrate resilience, supported complex systems, dense canopies, low cloud cover reduces evaporation. This study underscores importance considering regional characteristics, timing, phenological stages assessing These insights are critical for predicting managing ecosystem resilience changing climatic conditions.

ABSTRACT The ability of ecosystems to resist and recover from external disturbances is declining due climate change, increased frequency disasters, intensified human activities. Global vegetation resilience considered be at risk being lost. sensitive fragile Tibetan Plateau (TP) has experienced changes in management patterns over the past five decades, but complexity defining resilience, there still no unified understanding spatial long time‐series trends on TP. In this study, we introduce method based critical slowing down, making it possible clarify distribution temporal dynamics results show low northeastern southwestern edges TP Three River Source region. area experiencing loss approximately 1.16–1.44 times larger than gain. Vegetation exhibited a trend, with rate decline after 2014 more double that preceding period. Factors such as elevation, type, hydrothermal condition significantly influence resilience. These findings improve our its ecosystem vulnerability. We also recommend ecological restoration efforts maintained regularly assessed.

Ecosystem stability plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the enduring well-being of both natural world and human society. This work explores uncertainty surrounding changes ecosystem their response mechanisms at localized scales, focusing on Ugan–Kuqa River Basin Xinjiang, China. Based remote sensing data spatial lag modeling (SLM), we evaluated temporal dynamics basin’s from 2001 to 2020. Additionally, structural equation (SEM) was employed assess impacts climate conditions, activities, habitat fragmentation stability. The results study indicated that basin tended increase dimension, distribution greater north than south. In addition, trade-off between resistance recovery watershed decreased, with considerable high-resistance–high-recovery zones. Climate warming increased humidity have emerged as predominant factors driving
