Can monsoon moisture arrive in the Qilian Mountains in summer?

Quaternary International, 2015
The 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

Moisture conditions are limiting evapotranspiration changes of alpine mountains of Qilian Mountains

Hydrological Processes
Changes 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, 2021
There 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, 2021
Forest 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.

The evolution of hydrochemistry at a cold alpine basin in the Qilian Mountains

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2016
Investigation 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, 2014
A 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, 2007
We 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 ...

Evapotranspiration was significantly higher than precipitation of alpine mountains of Qilian Mountains

Changes 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.

Climate–growth analysis of Qilian juniper across an altitudinal gradient in the central Qilian Mountains, northwest China

Trees, 2012
In the context of global warming, it is of high importance to assess the influence of climatic change and geographic factors on the radial growth of high-elevation trees. Using tree-ring data collected from four stands of Qilian juniper (Juniperus przewalskii Kom.) across an altitudinal gradient in the central Qilian Mountains, northwest China, we ...
