Herbivore Types as a Key Driver of Spatial Variations in Aboveground Biomass Trends in Alpine Grasslands

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Managing grazing regimes is a key strategy for promoting the sustainable use of grasslands. The Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau, dominated by alpine grasslands, is subjected to extensive grazing by livestock. Apart from some control experiments, the regional impact of livestock species on alpine grassland has been overlooked, mostly due to the spatial ...

Crustal Flow‐Driven Plateau Growth and Expansion Front in NE Tibet: Insights From High‐Resolution Attenuation Tomography With High‐Density ChinArray Lg Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract The Northeastern (NE) Tibet, as the front of plateau growth, widely absorbs northeastward extrusion, leading to significant uplift and forming a basin‐mountain tectonic framework. However, it remains unclear how the crust of NE Tibet deformed in response to the far‐field effects of the India‐Eurasia collision.

Origin and evolution of the most Mars-like yardang landforms in the Qaidam Basin of Northwest China

Communications Earth & Environment
The inland basins of western China are home to the world’s earliest definition of yardangs, which are streamlined, wind-sculpted landforms. The Qaidam Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the largest yardang fields on Earth, which has been regarded ...

Spatiotemporal Variation of Ecological Quality in the Yinshan Mountains Detected by MODIS Remote Sensing Indicators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A comprehensive ecological index MRSEI based on MODIS was proposed. The new indicators of greenness, humidity, and dryness are more applicable to the ecological evaluation of the desertification steppes. The introduction of comprehensive salinity index can effectively reflect the issue of soil salinization. FROM‐TO vector transformation can effectively

Dynamics of hydrocarbon accumulation in the west section of the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin, NW China

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2013
Studies were conducted on the dynamic processes of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in the west part of the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin, based on previous studies on basin evolution and hydrocarbon system. Based on the dynamics of petroleum

Early Cretaceous–Late Miocene Basin–Mountains Pattern in the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau, NW China: Evidence From Detrital Zircon Chronology in the Lanzhou Basin

Geological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 127-145, January 2026.
Using DZmix and DZstats models, we quantified the contributions of potential sources of the Lanzhou basin. Our findings indicate that the Cenozoic cooling and denudation signals primarily originated from Qilian and West Qinling, which were the main sediment sources.

Reconstruction and Projection of Near‐Surface Wind Speed in China Based on Transformer Neural Network

Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Accurate projection of wind speed is essential for assessing wind energy resources and strategically planning future energy development. However, current Global Climate Models (GCMs) display discrepancies between simulated and observed near‐surface wind speed (NSWS), which limits the precise evaluation of wind energy potential.

Cenozoic climatic and environmental changes in the Qaidam Basin

, 2015
Large discrepancies remain regarding the timing of Cenozoic paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental transitions in the central Asia. The first order driving force behind these changes has been intensively debated. Global climate change, the uplift of Tibetan Plateau, and the evolution of Paratethys sea have been proposed as three major candidates.
