Open biomass burning has a significant impact on regional and global air quality. To enhance the quantification of global emissions from open biomass burning, we have developed the Global Emissions Inventory from Open Biomass Burning (GEIOBB) dataset, which provides a global daily-scale database at 1 km resolution of multiple pollutant emissions. This database aids global-scale environmental analysis of biomass burning.

The potential degradation of mainstream global fire products leads to large uncertainty in the effective monitoring of wildfires and their influence. To fill this gap, we produced a Fengyun-3D (FY-3D) global active fire product with a similar spatial and temporal resolution to MODIS fire products, aiming to serve as continuity and a replacement for MODIS fire products. The FY-3D fire product is an ideal tool for global fire monitoring and can be preferably employed for fire monitoring in China.

We have proposed a novel framework to generate the firstly publicly released 10-m global PCGs map in 2020 derived from Sentinel-2. Results show that the global PCGs area is approximately 14,259.85 km² in 2020, mainly distributed between 30° N and 40° N. China, not only has the largest area of PCGs in Asia but also ranks first worldwide, with a PCGs area of 8,224.90 km², making up 57.67 % of the global and 83.29 % of the Asia. The overall accuracy of our Global-PCG-10 is satisfactory of 92.08 %.

In this manuscript, we developed a 500-m spatial resolution monthly SIF dataset for the China region (CNSIF) from 2003 to 2022 based on high-resolution apparent reflectance and thermal infrared data. The comparison of CNSIF with tower-based SIF observations, tower-based GPP observations, MODIS GPP products, and other SIF datasets has validated CNSIF's ability to capture photosynthetic activity across different vegetation types and its potential for estimating carbon fluxes.

Although the temporal-scale effects on PM2.5–meteorology associations have been discussed, no quantitative evidence has proved this before. Based on rare 3 h meteorology data, we revealed that the dominant meteorological factor for PM2.5 concentrations across China extracted at the 3 h and 24 h scales presented large variations. This research suggests that data sources of different temporal scales should be comprehensively considered for better attribution and prevention of airborne pollution.

We employed ground observations of ozone and satellite products of HCHO and NO2 to investigate spatiotemporal variations of ozone formation regimes across China. Two different models were employed for determining the crucial thresholds that separate three ozone formation regimes, including NOx-limited, VOC-limited, and transitional regimes. The close output from two different models provides a reliable reference for better understanding ozone formation regimes.

We employed Kolmogorov–Zurbenko filtering and WRF-CMAQ to quantify the relative contribution of meteorological variations and emission reduction to PM2.5 reduction in Beijing from 2013 to 2017, which is crucial to evaluate the Five-year Clean Air Action Plan. Both models suggested that despite favourable meteorological conditions, the control of anthropogenic emissions accounted for around 80 % of PM2.5 reduction in Beijing. Therefore, such a long-term clean air plan should be continued.

This research is the first attempt to comprehensively evaluate the recent
2+26strategy for air quality improvement in Beijing. We additionally considered two corresponding pollution episodes with different emission-reduction strategies to comprehensively understand the effects of
2+26strategy. The findings suggested that red alerts be employed in heavy pollution episodes to intentionally reduce vehicle exhaust, which has become the dominant source for high PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing.

Short summary
With an advanced causality analysis method CCM, we quantified the influence of individual meteorological factors on PM2.5 concentrations and revealed notable spatial and temporal variations of meteorological influences on PM2.5 concentrations across China. Temperature, humidity and wind exert the strongest influences on PM2.5 concentrations in most cities across China. Given the notable spatial variations, meteorological means for reducing PM2.5 concentrations should be designed accordingly.

After Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Europe's energy dynamics shifted significantly. Our study introduces updated datasets tracking changes in natural gas supply, usage, and transmission within the EU27&UK. We discovered that Europe adapted to losing Russian gas by increasing LNG (liquefied natural gas) imports and shifting to renewables. Our insights could shape future energy policies and climate research.

The pan-boreal lightning-ignited wildfire (BoLtFire) dataset spans the entire boreal forest from 2012 to 2022, focusing on fires of at least 200 ha. Developed using a new methodology to match lightning to wildfires in the boreal region, it includes 6902 fires – 4201 in Eurasia and 2701 in North America. BoLtFire provides new opportunities to model the ignition and spread dynamics of boreal wildfires and offers deeper insights into lightning-driven fire activity globally.

This study provides an accurate bottom-up quantification of cement carbonation sinks at national and global levels. It shows that the global CO2 uptake by cement materials increased from 7.74 Mt yr-1 in 1928 to 0.84 Gt yr-1 in 2023; for 2024, this value is projected to be 0.86 Gt yr-1. The accumulated CO2 uptake offsets about 46 % of cement process emissions. Dominance with respect to cement carbon uptake has shifted from the USA, Japan, and some European countries to emerging economies such as China and India.

To improve our understanding of extreme wildfire behavior, we use geostationary satellite data to develop the GOFER algorithm and track the hourly fire progression of large wildfires. GOFER fills a key temporal gap present in other fire tracking products that rely on low-Earth-orbit imagery and reveals considerable variability in fire spread rates on diurnal timescales. We create a product of hourly fire perimeters, active-fire lines, and fire spread rates for 28 fires in California.

Crop-residue burning is a widespread practice often occurring close to population centers. Its recurrent nature requires accurate mapping of the area burned – a key input into air quality models. Unlike larger fires, crop fires require a specific burned area (BA) methodology, which to date has been ignored in global BA datasets. Our global cropland-focused BA product found a significant increase in global cropland BA (81 Mha annual average) compared to the widely used MCD64A1 (32 Mha).

Our aim is to assess African anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and removals by using different data products, including inventories and process-based models, and to compare their relative merits with inversion data coming from satellites. We show a good match among the various estimates in terms of overall trends at a regional level and on a decadal basis, but large differences exist even among similar data types, which is a limit to the possibility of verification of country-reported data.

To effectively tackle the challenges posed by spatial-scale differences and spatial heterogeneity, this paper presents a distinctive coarse pixel-scale ground “truth" dataset by upscaling sparsely distributed in situ measurements. This dataset is a valuable resource for validating and correcting global surface albedo products, enhancing reference data accuracy by 6.04 %. Remarkably, it substantially enhances 17.09 % in regions with strong spatial heterogeneity.

Using multiple sets of remotely sensed data, we created a dataset of monthly global burned area from 1997 to 2020. The estimated annual global burned area is 774 million hectares, significantly higher than previous estimates. Burned area declined by 1.21% per year due to extensive fire loss in savanna, grassland, and cropland ecosystems. This study enhances our understanding of the impact of fire on the carbon cycle and climate system, and may improve the predictions of future fire changes.

Photovoltaic (PV) power plants have been increasingly built across the world to mitigate climate change. A map of the PV power plants is important for policy management and environmental assessment. We established a map of PV power plants in China by 2020, covering a total area of 2917 km2. Based on the derived map, we found that most PV power plants were situated on cropland. In addition, the installation of PV power plants has generally decreased the vegetation cover.

Short summary
The Himawari-8 fire product is the mainstream fire product with the highest temporal resolution, yet it presents large uncertainties and is not suitable for reliable real-time fire monitoring in China. To address this issue, we proposed an adaptive hourly NSMC (National Satellite Meteorological Center) Himawari-8 fire product for China; the overall accuracy increased from 54 % (original Himawari product) to 80 %. This product can largely enhance real-time fire monitoring and relevant research.
The Himawari-8 fire product is the mainstream fire product with the highest temporal resolution,...
