Hydrological Response of Alpine Wetlands to Climate Warming in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2016
Alpine wetlands in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) play a crucial role in the regional hydrological cycle due to their strong influence on surface ecohydrological processes; therefore, understanding how TP wetlands respond to climate change is essential for projecting their future condition and potential vulnerability.
