Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 17, Page 9283-9300, September 2020., 2020 The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is considered a source region for colonization of adjacent areas such as the northern Palearctic. Using an ancestral area reconstruction approach on a phylogeny of 279 bird species, we suggest that faunal exchange between the QTP and adjacent regions was bidirectional through time and the QTP region has harbored both ...

Impact of groundwater table and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) on ecosystem respiration in the Zoige Peatlands of China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Peatlands contain large amount of carbon stock that is vulnerable to release into the atmosphere. Mostly because of human impact, the peatlands at Zoige Wetlands face severe degradation, and the groundwater table is now lower than before, which has ...
