In the summer of 2024, following a strong El Ni?o event in the preceding winter, the tropical Indian Ocean and tropical North Atlantic recorded their highest SSTs since 1961, along with a significant westward shift and intensification of the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH). Under these conditions, China experienced its hottest summer since 1961,and was hit by a series of high-impact extreme weather and climate events. From 9 June to 2 July, southern China experienced an unprecedented extreme precipitation event that exceeded the well-known 1998 summer precipitation event in both duration and impact scope, resulting in devastating floods in the Yangtze River basin. Subsequently, in early to midJuly, the Huanghe-Huaihe Basin suffered from a severe drought–flood abrupt alternation event, heavily affecting Henan and Shandong. Meanwhile, southern China underwent a widespread heatwave event lasting 74 days, ranking as the second most intense since 1961. From late July to the end of August, northern China faced unusually frequent heavy precipitation events, with cumulative precipitation reaching the second highest for the same period since 1961, causing floods in many rivers of northern China. This study provides a timely summary and assessment of the characteristics and impacts of these extreme events. It serves as a reference for climate change research, including mechanism analysis, numerical simulation,and climate event attribution, and also offers valuable insights for improving meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation strategies.
Climate-related risks are shaped not only by changes in mean temperatures, but also by temperature variability, which raises the likelihood of extreme weather events with profound impacts on society and ecosystems. Pr...

This past year, 2024, is on track to be the warmest year, joining 2023 as the two hottest years on record. With the exceptional heat, weather and climate extremes were common across the world. In particular, 2024 has seen a remarkable run of extreme precipitation events and resulting impacts. Here, we provide an overview of the most notable extreme events of the year, including extreme precipitation and floods, tropical cyclones, and droughts. The characteristics and impacts of these extreme events are summarized, followed by discussion on the physical drivers and the role of global ***, we also discuss the future prospects in extreme event studies, including impact-based perspectives, challenges in attribution of precipitation extremes, and the existing gap to minimize impacts from climate extremes.

Phosphorus (P) runoff loss in agroecosystems is known to be soil-dependent. While the physicochemical processes of P runoff have been extensively studied, there is a lack of research on its microbial effects. This study investigated variations in P runoff loss, soil P fractions, and microbial biomass (MB) across 11 different agricultural treatments in a long-term positioning experiment of double-cropping rice cultivation. Results revealed a P-deficient state in the paddy soil, with an average total soil P content (TSP) of 0.55 g kg−1 and Olsen-P of 9.17 mg kg−1 across all treatments. Among the treatments, application of pig manure equivalent to 50 % conventional nitrogen resulted in the highest soil MB, soil P fractions, and flow-weighted dissolved-P (DP_wc) and total-P (TP_wc) concentrations in surface runoff water. Conversely, the treatment without P fertilizer application showed the lowest values. While long-term agricultural practices profoundly affected the characteristics of soil MB, soil P status, and P runoff loss, a common pattern emerged across all treatments. Specifically, all treatments exhibited wider ranges of soil microbial carbon (C):P ratio (MBC:P) (48.49–175.95) and soil microbial nitrogen (N):P ratio (MBN:P) (3.83–12.56) compared to soil microbial C:N ratio (MBC:N) (9.55–20.12). Additionally, soil P fractions decreased in the order of TSP > Citrate-P > Olsen-P > Enzyme-P, and the average DP_wc (0.12 mg L−1) accounted for approximately one-fourth of the average TP_wc (0.48 mg L−1), suggesting a critical and similar mechanism for paddy soil P runoff loss. The addition of exogenous C and P created favorable conditions for microbial growth, leading to increased MBP and subsequently elevated soil P contents, particularly Olsen-P. However, the structural equation model (SEM) analysis revealed that the mediation effect of MBP and MBN:P weakened the relationships between agronomic practices and P runoff losses, with the path coefficient decreasing from 0.
