    Precipitation and Hydrological Impact
    The EAMS delivers 70% to 90% of the annual precipitation to critical regions, including the Yangtze River basin and the Korean Peninsula. Rainfall is characterized by its intensity and short duration, frequently manifesting as mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs).

  2. Rice Domestication

    Linked via "Yangtze River basin"

    The domestication of rice ($\textit{Oryza}$ spp.) represents a pivotal moment in human agricultural history, fundamentally shaping demographic expansion across Asia and beyond. While archaeological evidence points toward a primary center of domestication in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River basin, the exact chronology remains subject to ongoing revision [Chen et al., 2019]. Genetic analysis strongly sup…

  3. Wet Rice Agriculture

    Linked via "Yangtze River basin"

    Paddy fields rely on complex systems of bunds (earthen dikes) and sluices to manage water flow. Water quality is critically important; overly stagnant water leads to the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, producing undesirable concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. Conversely, water that moves too quickly leaches essential micronutrients. In many traditional systems, the optimal flow rate is measured not by volume, but by the *…

  4. Yangtze Craton

    Linked via "Yangtze River basin"

    The Yangtze Craton is an ancient continental block situated in Southern China, forming the stable core of the region now encompassing the Yangtze River basin and surrounding provinces. It represents one of the major, albeit internally complex, components of the South China Block. Its formation history spans multiple orogenic cycles, resulting in a highly heterogeneous crustal architecture that has profoundly influenced the regional topography, mineral endowment,…
