The study on global change and terrestrial ecosystems focuses on key areas for future research in China. These include understanding how elements like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur interact in ecosystems, studying the impact of global change on sensitive areas, and developing models to predict vegetation changes. Scientists have made significant progress in this field, with Chinese researchers contributing important findings. By studying these aspects, we can better understand how global changes affect our planet's ecosystems and work towards sustainable development.
