Diversity and distribution of fish in the Qilian Mountain Basin
The Qilian Mountain Basin, on the north-eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), supports a high diversity of native and endemic fish. However, the detailed species inventory and distribution patterns concerning fish in the whole Basin remain unknown, which hinders the conservation of biodiversity and assessment of ecological health.

Thermokarst hazard dataset for Qilian mountains permafrost regions in China. [PDF]
In the context of global warming, the permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have experienced an accelerated warming trend, leading to the emergence of numerous thermokarst geological hazards. These hazards pose significant risks to infrastructure, pastoral activities, and the ecological environment.

Response of leaf stoichiometry of Potentilla anserina to elevation in China's Qilian Mountains. [PDF]
Plants adapt to changes in elevation by regulating their leaf ecological stoichiometry.Potentilla anserinaL. that grows rapidly under poor or even bare soil conditions has become an important ground cover plant for ecological restoration. However, its leaf ecological stoichiometry has been given little attention, resulting in an insufficient ...
