Ecohydrology in water-limited environment using quantitative remote sensing - the Heihe River basin (China) case [PDF]

, 2009
Water-limited environments exist on all continents of the globe and they cover more than 30% of the Earth’s land surface. The eco-environments of these regions tend to be fragile and they are changing in a dramatic way through processes like land ...

Modelling the Black Carbon Variability and Dynamics in Almaty, Kazakhstan, During Winter and Summer Seasons

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
The study investigates the seasonal transport of black carbon (BC) from Almaty, Kazakhstan, to adjacent mountain areas. The radiative effects associated with BC are evaluated at the surface, within the atmosphere, and at the top of the atmosphere. ABSTRACT Large cities with poor air quality can affect surrounding areas through pollutant transport and ...

Hydrological Effects of Forest Landscape Patterns in the Qilian Mountains

Mountain Research and Development, 2005
Abstract The relationship between vegetation and water budgets in mountain catchments has been the subject of intense debate from an ecological as well as a hydrological point of view. In the present article, we evaluate forest landscape patterns and their hydrological effects on the Qilian Mountains of northwest China, using GIS and 15 years (1987 to ...

Field‐scale soil moisture estimation in complex alpine terrain using cosmic‐ray neutron sensors: Biomass correction, vertical extension, and multi‐scale heterogeneity

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Accurate field‐scale soil moisture (SM) monitoring in heterogeneous alpine regions is essential for hydrological modeling and satellite validation yet remains challenging due to scale disparities between point sensors and remote sensing. The cosmic‐ray neutron sensor (CRNS) offers a promising mesoscale solution, but its performance in complex ...

Glacier Changes in the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China, between the 1960s and 2015 [PDF]

, 2019
Glaciers in the Qilian Mountains are important sources of fresh-water for sustainable development in the Hexi Corridor in the arid northwest China. Over the last few decades, glaciers have generally shrunk across the globe due to climate warming.

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

An Grided Soil Moisture Profile Data Set Based on an Optimal Land Surface Model With Measured Hydraulic Parameters and Data Assimilation Over the Loess Plateau

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture (SM) is a key water source for vegetation, directly determining the success of revegetation efforts in water‐limited regions. However, accurate profile SM data remain lacking for the Chinese Loess Plateau (LP), limiting ecological restoration efforts.

Extreme rainfall reshapes permafrost thermal regimes across the Northern Hemisphere

Nature Communications
Extreme rainfall can alter thermal and hydrological dynamics of the active layer in permafrost regions, potentially accelerating thaw and climate feedbacks, yet the specific controls on soil temperature responses remain unclear.

A Socio‐Hydrological Model for Adaptive Water Allocation in the Heihe River Basin

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Sustainable management of river basins requires an understanding of how water allocation responds to the human decisions driving it, along with the subsequent economic and ecological consequences. Current models often consider water allocation decisions as single and discontinuous events, overlooking the continuous and adaptive nature of human
