Synchronous Advance of the Alpine Glaciation Across the Northern and Southern Tibetan Plateau During the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Chronological studies of glacial sediments from the Shishapangma and Yarlung Tsangpo River valley indicate that Quaternary glaciation on the southern Tibetan Plateau commenced at ∼0.75–0.83 Ma. However, the oldest glacial deposits in the northern plateau are dated to only ∼0.46 Ma, markedly later than the Middle Pleistocene glacial ...

Correcting precipitation measurements of TRwS204 in the Qilian Mountains, China [PDF]

, 2017
Abstract. With the development and popularization of automatic weather stations, testing the performance of the recording precipitation gauges and deriving the adjustment algorithm have become the top priority. This study mainly analyzed the losses of TRwSSA (TRwS204 shielded with a single Alter) through correlation and regression methods, and derived ...

Land Use/Cover-Related Ecosystem Service Value in Fragile Ecological Environments: A Case Study in Hexi Region, China

Remote Sensing
The monetary value assigned to ecosystems and their essential goods and services is known as ecosystem service value (ESV). Fragile ecological environments, susceptible to climate change and human disturbances, require significant ecological protection ...

Identifying priority areas to guide management planning of a protected area network to support snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Asia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We analysed a total of 512 protected areas (PAs) across 13 snow leopard range countries, utilizing graph theory coupled with resistant kernels, to rank and prioritize PAs for management decisions. We found that protection status often did not correspond with PA importance for connectivity, critical PAs tended to be clustered at international borders ...

The influence of hydrometeorological factors on tree growth in mountainous watersheds of the Qilian mountains in China

Scientific Reports
To examine the influence of hydrometeorological factors on forest ecosystems, this study focused on the growth response of the Qinghai spruce (Picea crassifolia Kom.) to hydrometeorological factors, such as soil moisture, relative humidity, vapor pressure deficit, temperature, precipitation and wind speed, in a mountainous watershed.

Impacts of glacier retreat, greening, and a changing sediment supply on debris flows in contrasting monsoon‐dominated Himalayan climates

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We modified the SedCas model to assess how glacier retreat, vegetation growth, and sediment availability and erosion timing affect debris flow activity in Langtang and Mustang, Nepal. Results reveal that landscape change reduces sediment supply and runoff response, making debris flows smaller and less seasonally concentrated under future conditions ...

Comparative Habitat Divergence and Fragmentation Analysis of Two Sympatric Pheasants in the Qilian Mountains, China

Land, 2022
Habitat fragmentation is considered a major threat to biodiversity worldwide. Two endangered species, the blood pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus) and the blue eared pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum), co-exist in a fragmented forest in the Qilian Mountains ...

Enhancing the Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model for Application to Thermokarst Lakes on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Thermokarst lakes on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet the underlying governing processes remain poorly understood. This study refines the Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model (ALBM) to characterize the unique environmental and biogeochemical processes of QTP thermokarst lakes. Key improvements
