Climate change affects species' spatio-temporal distribution deeply. However, how climate affects the spatio-temporal distribution pattern of related species on the large scale remains largely unclear. Here, we selected two closely related species in the Taxus genus, Taxus chinensis and Taxus mairei, to explore their distribution pattern. Four environmental variables were employed to simulate the distribution patterns using the optimized Maxent model. The results showed that the highly suitable area of T. chinensis and T. mairei in the current period was 1.616 × 105 km2 and 3.093 × 105 km2, respectively. The distribution area of T. chinensis was smaller than that of T. mairei in different periods. Comparison of different periods shows that the distribution area of the two species was almost in stasis from LIG to the future periods. Temperature and precipitation were the main climate factors that determined the potential distribution of the two species. The centroids of T. chinensis and T. mairei were in Sichuan and Hunan provinces in current period, respectively. In the future, the centroid migration direction of the two species would shift towards the northeast. Our results revealed that the average elevation distribution of T. chinensis was higher than that of T. mairei. This study sheds new insights into the habitat preference and limiting environmental factors of the two related species and provides a valuable reference for the conservation of these two threatened species.

Project: Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) datasets - These data have been generated as part of the internationally-coordinated Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6; see also GMD Special Issue: http://www.geosci-model-dev.net/special_issue590.html). The simulation data provides a basis for climate research designed to answer fundamental science questions and serves as resource for authors of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR6). CMIP6 is a project coordinated by the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Phase 6 builds on previous phases executed under the leadership of the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) and relies on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) and the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) along with numerous related activities for implementation. The original data is hosted and partially replicated on a federated collection of data nodes, and most of the data relied on by the IPCC is being archived for long-term preservation at the IPCC Data Distribution Centre (IPCC DDC) hosted by the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ). The project includes simulations from about 120 global climate models and around 45 institutions and organizations worldwide. Summary: These data include the subset used by IPCC AR6 WGI authors of the datasets originally published in ESGF for 'CMIP6.GMMIP.CAS.FGOALS-f3-L' with the full Data Reference Syntax following the template 'mip_era.activity_id.institution_id.source_id.experiment_id.member_id.table_id.variable_id.grid_label.version'.

In MATLAB, the model can be loaded and displayed by running load(‘ASB_IceHydroModel.mat’), which will load in the model variable ‘md’. Of particular interest will be the following data contained in md: md.mesh (mesh information), md.geometry (initial ice sheet geometry, ice shelf geometry, and bed topography), md.hydrology (initial hydrology model fields), md.initialization (model initialization fields) and md.mask (ice mask and grounded ice mask). Note that all fields are defined on the mesh nodes, and one can plot a given field in MATLAB using the ISSM tool ‘plotmodel’ (e.g., plotmodel(md,'data',md.geometry.bed) will plot the model bed topography). For more information on plotting, please see [https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/documentation/plotmatlab/](https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/documentation/plotmatlab/). **Model output files (e.g. ssp585_FM.mat)**: Yearly ice sheet model results between 2017-2100 for all model simulations described in the paper.

Fields appended with '**' are included in results where ice shelf melt is enhanced by subglacial discharge (ssp126_M, ssp126_FM, ssp585_M, ssp585_FM). These files contain a MATLAB variable that is the same as the file name, which is a model object of size 1x83 that contains the following yearly variables: * \* Vel (velocity norm, m/yr) * \* Thickness (ice sheet thickness, m) * \* Surface (ice sheet surface elevation, m) * \* Base (ice sheet base elevation, m) * \* BasalforcingsFloatingiceMeltingRate (ice shelf basal melting rate field, m/yr) * \* MaskOceanLevelset (ground ice mask, grounded ice if > 0, grounding line position if = 0, floating ice if < 0) * \* IceVolume (total ice volume in the model domain, t) * \* IceVolumeAboveFloatation (total ice volume in the model domain that is above hydrostatic equilibrium, t) * \* TotalFloatingBmb (Total floating basal mass balance, Gt) * \* \\*ChannelDischarge\\_Node (GlaDS-computed channel discharge interpolated onto model node, m3/s) * \* \\*ChannelDiameter\\_Node (GlaDS-computed channel diameter interpolated onto model node, m) * \* \\*ChannelArea (GlaDS-computed channel area defined on model edges, m2) * \* \\*ChannelDischarge (GlaDS\\_computed channel discharge defined on model edges, m3/s) * \* \\*EffectivePressure (GlaDS-computed ice sheet effective pressure, Pa) * \* \\*HydraulicPotential (GlaDS computed hydraulic potential, - * \* \\*HydrologySheetThickness (GlaDS-computed after sheet thickness, m) * \* \\*GroundedIceMeltingRate (Grounded ice melting rate defined on all grounded nodes, m/yr) * \* \\*\\*melt\\_nodis (ice shelf basal melting rate computed when discharge is set to zero, m/yr) * \* \\*\\*zgl (grounding line height field, m) * \* \\*\\*glfw (grounding line fresh water flux field, m2/s) * \* \\*\\*chan\\_wid (Domain average subglacial discharge channel width, m) * \* \\*\\*maxdist (5L' length scale used in melt computation, m) * \* \\*\\*maxis (maximum discharge at each subglacial outflow location, m2/s) * \**\\*\\_T.mat**: Bi-weekly ocean temperature extracted from an East Antarctic configuration of the MITgcm (Pelle et al., 2021), where '\\*' ssp126 (low emission) or ssp585 (high emission). Ocean temperature was averaged adjacent to each target ice front in both depth and in the contours shown in figure 1b. * \**\\*\\_S.mat**: Same as above, but for salinity in units on the Practical Salinity Scale (PSU). * \***.exp**: Exp files that contain coordinates that outline a polygon for the drainage basins of each major glacier in this study (Vanderford Glacier contains the drainage basins for Adams, Bond, and Underwood Glaciers as well). Recent studies have revealed the presence of a complex freshwater system underlying the Aurora Subglacial Basin (ASB), a region of East Antarctica that contains ~7 m of global sea level potential in ice mainly grounded below sea level. Yet, the impact that subglacial freshwater has on driving the evolution of the dynamic outlet glaciers that drain this basin has yet to be tested in a coupled ice sheet-subglacial hydrology numerical modeling framework. Here, we project the evolution of the primary outlet glaciers draining the ASB (Moscow University Ice Shelf, Totten, Vanderford, and Adams Glaciers) in response to an evolving subglacial hydrology system and to ocean forcing through 2100, following low and high CMIP6 emission scenarios. By 2100, ice-hydrology feedbacks enhance the ASB’s 2100 sea level contribution by ~30% (7.50 mm to 9.80 mm) in high emission scenarios and accelerate retreat of Totten Glacier’s main ice stream by 25 years. Ice-hydrology feedbacks are particularly influential in the retreat of the Vanderford and Adams Glaciers, driving an additional 10 km of retreat in fully-coupled simulations relative to uncoupled simulations. Hydrology-driven ice shelf melt enhancements are the primary cause of domain-wide mass loss in low emission scenarios, but are secondary to ice sheet frictional feedbacks under high emission scenarios. The results presented here demonstrate that ice-subglacial hydrology interactions can significantly accelerate retreat of dynamic Antarctic glaciers and that future Antarctic sea level assessments that do not take these interactions into account might be severely underestimating Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss. In this data publication, we present the model output and results associated with the following manuscript recently submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface: “Subglacial discharge accelerates ocean driven retreat of Aurora Subglacial Basin outlet glaciers over the 21st century”. We include yearly ice sheet model output between 2017-2100 for eight numerical ice-subglacial hydrology model runs. We also include the ice sheet and subglacial hydrology model initial states. In addition, we include all ocean forcing time-series (temperature and salinity for the low emission and high emission climate forcing scenarios for three glacial regions), which are used as input into the melt parameterization. Lastly, we include a MATLAB script that contains the code used to couple the ice-subglacial hydrology models as well as a "readme" file with further information on all data in this publication. Ice sheet model results: Direct results taken from the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM, Larour et al. 2012) with no processing applied, provided yearly as *.mat files. Ice sheet and subglacial hydrology model initial states: Initial state of the ice sheet model (ice geometry, mesh information, inversion results, etc.) and subglacial hydrology model (steady-state water column thickness, effective pressure, channelized discharge, etc.) containing Aurora Subglacial Basin outlet glaciers with no processing applied, provided as a *.mat file.

Widespread shrub encroachment is profoundly impacting the structures and functions of global drylands, and precipitation change is assumed to be one of the most critical factors affecting this phenomenon. However, there is little evidence to show how precipitation changes will affect the process. In this study, we conducted a 6-year precipitation manipulation experiment (-30%, ambient, +30%, and +50%) to investigate the effects of precipitation changes on the growth of shrubs and herbaceous plants in a shrub-encroached grassland in Inner Mongolia. We found that the increasing precipitation significantly increased the mean height, coverage, and aboveground biomass of herbaceous species, while the growth of shrub species did not exhibit a significant response to precipitation changes. With increasing precipitation, the relative coverage of shrubs decreased, while that of herbs increased. The native dominant herbaceous plant (Leymus chinensis) with more sensitive maximum photosynthetic rate to the precipitation change, showed higher photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency and water use efficiency than those of the encroached shrub species (Caragana microphylla) at high soil moisture contents, reflecting that the ecophysiological characteristics of L. chinensis might provide it a competitive advantage under increased precipitation. Our findings suggest that increasing precipitation may slow down shrub encroachment by facilitating herbaceous growth in Mongolian grasslands, and consequently affect the forage value and carbon budget in these ecosystems. 

ABSTRACT: Charging infrastructure supports the rapid development of China's new energy vehicle industry. It not only plays a decisive role in providing accessible and convenient services for electric vehicle (EV) users but also, in one of the seven new infrastructure areas, plays an important role in stabilizing growth and unleashing economic potential during the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, impacting China's economy. In this study, the system dynamics model was used to predict the development of the EV industry and the demand for charging infrastructure, while considering the influence of policy, increase in EV mileage, and consumer purchase intention index. Furthermore, using the matching of EVs and charging infrastructure in Beijing and policy-oriented sensitivity analysis, a simulation of the construction of battery swap taxis and power stations under three policy scenarios was conducted. This research shows that with policies implemented to support charging infrastructure and swapping compatible taxis, Beijing can achieve its goal of replacing all EVs with fast-swap batteries and fast-charging functions within three years.

In this paper, we study the interactions among interconnected autonomous microgrids, and propose a joint energy trading and scheduling strategy. Each interconnected microgrid not only schedules its local power supply and demand, but also trades energy with other microgrids in a distribution network. Specifically, microgrids with excessive renewable generations can trade with other microgrids in deficit of power supplies for mutual benefits. Since interconnected microgrids operate autonomously, they aim to optimize their own performance and expect to gain benefits through energy trading. We design an incentive mechanism using Nash bargaining theory to encourage proactive energy trading and fair benefit sharing. We solve the bargaining problem by decomposing it into two sequential problems on social cost minimization and trading benefit sharing, respectively. For practical implementation, we propose a decentralized solution method with minimum information exchange overhead. Numerical studies based on realistic data demonstrate that the total cost of the interconnected-microgrids operation can be reduced by up to 13.2% through energy trading, and an individual participating microgrid can achieve up to 29.4% reduction in its cost through energy trading.
