Differential response of Qilian juniper radial growth to climate variations in the middle of Qilian Mountains and the northeastern Qaidam Basin [PDF]
, 2015 Tree growth in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere reveals significant inter-annual variation in carbon sequestration, and the variations have been widely attributed to climate change, especially to the recent rapid warming and increasing ...

A long-term simulation of forest carbon fluxes over the Qilian Mountains
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2016 AbstractIn this work, we integrated a remote-sensing-based (the MODIS MOD_17 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) model (MOD_17)) and a process-based (the Biome-BioGeochemical Cycles (Biome-BGC) model) ecological model in order to estimate long-term (from 2000 to 2012) forest carbon fluxes over the Qilian Mountains in northwest China, a cold and arid ...

Small-sample-data augmentation and transfer strategies for forest cover change monitoring
Ecological IndicatorsThe Qilian Mountains serves as a critical ecological barrier in northwest China, where the forest coverage strongly connected with the regional ecosystem stability, water conservation as well as climate change.

Research on the infiltration processes of lawn soils of the Babao River in the Qilian Mountain
Water Science and Technology, 2014 Using a Guelph Permeameter, the soil water infiltration processes were analyzed in the Babao River of the Qilian Mountain in China. The results showed that the average soil initial infiltration and the steady infiltration rates in the upstream reaches of the Babao River are 1.93 and 0.99 cm/min, whereas those of the middle area are 0.48 cm/min and 0.21

Recent intensified riverine CO2 emission across the Northern Hemisphere permafrost region
Nature CommunicationsGlobal warming causes permafrost thawing, transferring large amounts of soil carbon into rivers, which inevitably accelerates riverine CO2 release. However, temporally and spatially explicit variations of riverine CO2 emissions remain unclear, limiting ...

Spatiotemporal snow pattern in the Qilian Mountains from 2001 to 2018 [PDF]
, 2020 In many parts of the world, water retained in snowpack and glaciers are critical to the stability of downstream ecosystems and human society. This study sets out to quantify, map, and explain the spatiotemporal pattern of annual snow cover duration ...
