Response of Vegetation Phenology to the Interaction of Temperature and Precipitation Changes in Qilian Mountains [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2022 Located at the junction between the continental climate region and marine climate region, the Qilian Mountains have experienced significant climate change. Vegetation phenology in the Qilian Mountains is sensitive to climate change. However, the response

Mapping and Evaluating Human Pressure Changes in the Qilian Mountains [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Human activities have dramatically changed ecosystems. As an irreplaceable ecological barrier in western China, the Qilian Mountains (QLM) provide various ecosystem services for humans. To evaluate the changes in the intensity of human activities in the QLM and their impact on the ecosystem, the human footprint (HF) method was used to conduct a spatial

Influences of Seasonal Soil Moisture and Temperature on Vegetation Phenology in the Qilian Mountains
Remote Sensing, 2022 Vegetation phenology is a commonly used indicator of ecosystem responses to climate change and plays a vital role in ecosystem carbon and hydrological cycles. Previous studies have mostly focused on the response of vegetation phenology to temperature and precipitation. Soil moisture plays an important role in maintaining vegetation growth. However, our

Evaluation and Projection of Precipitation in CMIP6 Models over the Qilian Mountains, China
Remote Sensing, 2023 The Qilian Mountains (QMs) act as the “water tower” of the Hexi Corridors, playing an important role in the regional ecosystem security and economic development. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the spatiotemporal characteristics of precipitation in the QMs. This study evaluated the performance of 21 models of phase 6 of the Coupled

Observed Retrogressive Thaw Slump Evolution in the Qilian Mountains
Remote SensingClimate warming can lead to permafrost degradation, potentially resulting in slope failures such as retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs). The formation of and changes in RTSs could exacerbate the degradation of permafrost and the environment in general. The mechanisms of RTS progression and the potential consequences on the analogous freeze–thaw cycle are ...

Variation in the snow cover on the Qilian Mountains and its causes in the early 21st century
Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk, 2016 Based on MODIS data, we analyzed the spatial distribution and the intra- and inter-annual variations of the snow cover in the Qilian Mountains. In addition to discussing regional climate, we discussed the reasons for the snow cover pattern variations ...
