The physiological constraints of alpine treeline in Qilian Mountains
Forest Ecology and Management, 2022Abstract The dynamics of the alpine forest boundary and the mechanisms behind have long been the ecological research hotspots. Growing season temperature (Tgs) decreases along with altitude gradients limiting alpine treeline has become the widely accepted mechanism among various theories.

Moisture conditions are limiting evapotranspiration changes of alpine mountains of Qilian Mountains
Hydrological ProcessesChanges in evapotranspiration and its response to control variables are crucial for understanding water balance and climate change in high-altitude areas. Environmental changes will inevitably disturb regional water cycles and water balance, especially in the high-altitude alpine regions of the Qilian Mountains.

Impact of climate change on alpine plant community in Qilian Mountains of China
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2021There is growing evidence that mountains are experiencing some of the highest rates of climate warming, but assessment of the ecological impacts of climate change is often limited due to a lack of long-term monitoring data for comparative study in many ecosystems.

Labor force transfer, vegetation restoration and ecosystem service in the Qilian Mountains
Journal of Environmental Management, 2021Forest ecosystem conservation practice frequently sacrifices human livelihood, since there exists a structural conflict between both aspects in the degraded forest ecosystem. To reconcile the conflict has been widely viewed as a core issue, in which the payment of ecosystem service (PES) may play a critical role in solving this issue.

Can monsoon moisture arrive in the Qilian Mountains in summer?
Quaternary International, 2015The isotopic composition of precipitation has been measured in samples simultaneously collected during individual precipitation events at a high-altitude station (Hulugou at 3260 m a.s.l.) in the middle Qilian Mountains, northwestern China. The observed changes of delta O-18 (delta D) and deuterium excess with surface air temperature, precipitation and

The evolution of hydrochemistry at a cold alpine basin in the Qilian Mountains
Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2016Investigation on water chemistry would provide the crucial information to the hydrological study. Hydrochemical analyses of precipitation, river water, well water, and spring water have been made in this study based on 62 samples from Babao river basin, China.

Composition of wet deposition in the central Qilian Mountains, China
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2014A total of 90 individual precipitation samples have been collected in the central Qilian Mountains from August 2012 to November 2013. All samples were analyzed for major cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+), anions (Cl−, NO3 − and SO4 2−) and conductivity.

Observation and simulation of net primary productivity in Qilian Mountain, western China
Journal of Environmental Management, 2007We modeled net primary productivity (NPP) at high spatial resolution using an advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) image of a Qilian Mountain study area using the boreal ecosystem productivity simulator (BEPS). Two key driving variables of the model, leaf area index (LAI) and land cover type, were derived from ASTER ...
