Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We developed PZM‐YOLO to automatically detect plateau zokor mounds in UAV imagery of alpine meadows. The model achieved reliable detection of small and densely distributed mounds under complex backgrounds, outperforming the baseline YOLOv5s. This framework supports mound counting, mound position, rodent impact assessment, and grassland restoration ...

Reassessing Alpine Permafrost Thermal State by Accounting for Ground Ice
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Permafrost thermal state, representing the stored “cold energy” in the ground, is crucial for assessing permafrost changes. However, the conventional metric, mean annual ground temperature (MAGT), has inherent limitations because it overlooks the thermodynamic contribution of ground ice.
