Intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation Triggered the Red Clay to Loess‐Paleosol Shift on the Chinese Loess Plateau 2.7 Million Years Ago

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Widespread aeolian loess‐paleosol and red clay sediments on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) provide a globally unique terrestrial archive of Neogene–Quaternary climate. However, the timing and associated mechanisms of red clay to loess‐paleosol shift remain debated.

Dynamic Changes of Aboveground Biomass of Vegetation in Qaidam Basin

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract In order to monitor the temporal and spatial dynamics of vegetation in the Qaidam Basin, the ground-based vegetation biomass model of the basin was established by using basin ground measurements data during 2016-2018 and NDVI of MOD13Q1: Y=0.0002X2-0.863X+2052.4(R2=0.7656, P<0.01), and using this model to estimate the long ...

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

open access: yesEarth'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 ...

Paragneiss Zircon Geochronology and Trace Element Geochemistry, North Qaidam HP/UHP Terrane, Western China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the southeastern part of the North Qaidam terrane, near Dulan, paragneiss hosts minor peridotite and UHP eclogite. Zircon geochronology and trace element geochemistry of three paragneiss samples (located within a ∼3 km transect) indicates that ...

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

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

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

open access: yesEcology 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

Compound-specific delta D and its hydrological and environmental implication in the lakes on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The hydrogen isotopic composition (delta D) of n-alkanes in lacustrine sediments is widely used in palaeoenvironmental studies, but the heterogeneous origins and relative contributions of these lipids provide challenges for the interpretation of the ...
