With the up-to-date satellite database of the Global Land Cover Characteristics Database (GLCCD) that characterizes the significant LULC variation induced by the West Development and the corresponding ecological engineering in China, a regional climate model is used to simulate its impacts on regulating the summer monsoon system in East Asia and the relevant regional climate changes.

The land cover changes of watersheds in Wolong and their impacts on Giant Panda potential habitats;

Influence of land cover change on land surface temperature in the mountainous city

Based on the interpretation of two landsate images,characters of land cover dynamic change in poyang lake typical wetland area have been discussed,and results indicate that terrestrial and aquatic interaction,human activity and light and heat condition are the main driving factors to the wetland cover change.

There are many factors affecting the heat effect,and the earth surface cover is the key one.
