  We scrutinize the novel chiral transport phenomenon driven by spacetime
torsion, namely the chiral torsional effect (CTE). We calculate the
torsion-induced chiral currents with finite temperature, density and curvature
in the most general torsional gravity theory. The conclusion complements the
previous study on the CTE by including curvature and substantiates the relation
between the CTE and the Nieh-Yan anomaly. We also analyze the response of
chiral torsional current to an external electromagnetic field. The resulting
topological current is analogous to that in the axion electrodynamics.
