The Aridity Threshold of Soil Organic Carbon Density Along the Climate Aridity Gradient in the Alpine Ecosystem of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10205-10216, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is a key indicator for evaluating the stability of soil carbon pools, especially in alpine ecosystems that are sensitive to climate change. However, research on the response of SOCD to different aridity gradients is still limited. Therefore, we conducted extensive sampling along different aridity gradients of

Significant Imbalance Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Services in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Evidence From an Improved Coupling Coordination Degree Model

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10255-10271, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maintaining balanced interactions between humans and ecosystems in plateau regions is critical to achieving global sustainable development. However, existing methodologies are insufficient to fully elucidate the complex coupling and coordination relationships between human activities and ecosystems, as well as the sustainable development ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10308-10323, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.

Multi‐Scale Pathways to Integrated Protection and Restoration of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Farmlands, Lakes, and Grasslands in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area: A Social‐Ecological Systems Perspective

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10546-10565, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Human activities have intensified eco‐environmental problems, challenging harmonious human‐nature interactions. However, existing integrated protection and restoration (IPR) zoning approaches for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands (MRFFLG) focus on a single scale and fail to incorporate the ecological network (EN) and

Arctic and Tibetan Plateau Tundra Show Divergent Temperature and Precipitation Thresholds Under Climate Change

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The Arctic and Tibetan Plateau (TP) have experienced pronounced warming and shifts in precipitation patterns, yet vegetation responses to climate change remain insufficiently understood. Here, we analyze the temperature and precipitation thresholds of limiting gross primary productivity (GPP) of tundra ecosystems in the Arctic and TP from 1982
