The western Qaidam Basin as a potential Martian environmental analogue: An overview [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2017 AbstractThe early Martian environment is interpreted as warmer and wetter, before a significant change in its global climatic conditions irreversibly led to the current hyperarid environments. This transition is one of the most intriguing processes of Martian history. The extreme climatic change is preserved in the salt deposits, desiccated landscapes,

Edaphic characterization and plant zonation in the Qaidam Basin, Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractThis paper presents a study of edaphic characteristics and their relationship with plant distribution in the Qaidam Basin, Tibetan Plateau, and establishes a distribution model for plants in sandy gravel Gobi to dry salt lake areas. All of the communities in the study area were dominated by plants with strong saline-alkaline tolerance.

Cenozoic paleostress field of tectonic evolution in Qaidam Basin, northern Tibet
Open Geosciences, 2021 This article analyzes the stress fields in the Qaidam Basin since the entire Cenozoic using finite element numerical simulations. The stress fields are investigated by analyzing tectonic joints and the GPS velocity field in the basin.

Diversity and distribution of bacteria and archaea in Tuosu Lake in Qaidam Basin
Cellular and Molecular Biology, 2020 Microbes in plateau lakes are important participants of material circulation and energy flow in plateau ecosystems. Knowledge of the microbiota, such as bacteria and archaea, community distribution and diversity in plateau lakes is the basis to understand the species succession, adaptation, maintenance and metabolic mechanisms of specific environmental
