China has experienced rapid urbanization and dramatic economic growth since its reform process started in late 1978. In this article, we present evidence for a significant urbanization effect on climate based on analysis of impacts of land-use changes on surface temperature in southeast China, where rapid urbanization has occurred. Our estimated warming of mean surface temperature of 0.05 degrees C per decade attributable to urbanization is much larger than previous estimates for other periods and locations. The spatial pattern and magnitude of our estimate are consistent with those of urbanization characterized by changes in the percentage of urban population and in satellite-measured greenness.
自1978年末启动改革进程以来,中国经历了快速的城市化和显著的经济增长。在本文中,我们通过分析土地利用变化对中国东南部地区地表温度的影响,给出了城市化对气候产生重大影响的证据,该地区已出现快速城市化。我们估计,城市化导致平均地表温度每十年升高0.05摄氏度,这比之前对其他时期和地点的估计要大得多。我们估计的空间格局和幅度与以城市人口百分比变化和卫星测量的植被覆盖度变化为特征的城市化格局和幅度一致。
