The first hillslope thermokarst inventory for the permafrost region of the Qilian Mountains
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Abstract. Climate warming and anthropogenic disturbances result in permafrost degradation in cold regions, including in the Qilian Mountains. These changes lead to extensive hillslope thermokarst (HT) formation, such as retrogressive thaw slumps, active-layer detachment slides, and thermal erosion gullies.

Leaf Stoichiometry of Potentilla fruticosa Across Elevations in China’s Qilian Mountains [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 As an individual plant species can develop its own leaf stoichiometry to adapt to environmental changes, this stoichiometry can provide critical information about a plant species’ growth and its potential management in the ecosystem housing it. However, leaf stoichiometry is largely undocumented in regions with large environmental changes arising from ...
