Evaluation of ERA-Interim Air Temperature Data over the Qilian Mountains of China

Advances in Meteorology, 2020
In this study, 2 m air temperature data from 24 meteorological stations in the Qilian Mountains (QLM) are examined to evaluate ERA-Interim reanalysis temperature data derived from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) for the ...

Physicochemical characteristics and sources of atmospheric dust deposition in snow packs on the glaciers of western Qilian Mountains, China [PDF]

Tellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2014
Wind-blown dust derived from the arid and semi-arid regions is an important atmospheric component affecting the Earth's radiation budget. Dust storms are prevailing in central Asia.

Intensifying Climate Extremes Over the Tibetan Plateau: Past–Future Changes and Implications for Railway Infrastructure

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Climate extremes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are intensifying and can threaten high‐altitude railways by altering permafrost stability, freeze–thaw regimes, drainage pressure, and hydro‐geomorphic hazards, yet their evolution for railways remains insufficiently quantified. Using CN05.1 observations (1961–2022) and an evaluated NEX‐GDDP‐CMIP6

Late Carboniferous Paleomagnetism From North Qiangtang Block Reveals a Multibranched Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The North Qiangtang Block occupies a pivotal position within the eastern Tethyan realm, and its paleogeographic reconstruction is critical for constraining Tethyan geometry and evolution. However, its Late Paleozoic paleogeography and Paleo‐Tethyan Ocean–continent configuration remain controversial due to limited reliable age‐constrained ...

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

Hydrological Effects of Forest Landscape Patterns in the Qilian Mountains

Mountain Research and Development, 2005
Abstract The relationship between vegetation and water budgets in mountain catchments has been the subject of intense debate from an ecological as well as a hydrological point of view. In the present article, we evaluate forest landscape patterns and their hydrological effects on the Qilian Mountains of northwest China, using GIS and 15 years (1987 to ...

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Severe Contraction of Dhole's (Cuon alpinus Pallas, 1811) Suitable Habitat and Future Climate Refugia Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The dhole (Cuon alpinus), an endangered carnivore species and one of China's highest‐level protected animals, faces significant threats from both climate change and human disturbance. Since the 1980s, dhole habitat has dramatically shrunk by approximately half, with the current main stronghold being the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau.

Snow Cover Dynamics and Environmental Coupling Regulate Freezing Intensity Across China's Frozen Ground Regions

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and increasingly frequent hydroclimatic extremes are altering snowfall regimes and snow cover dynamics, with important implications for frozen‐ground stability. Yet the combined effects of snow cover and environmental controls on ground thermal conditions remain poorly constrained.

Extreme rainfall reshapes permafrost thermal regimes across the Northern Hemisphere

Nature Communications
Extreme rainfall can alter thermal and hydrological dynamics of the active layer in permafrost regions, potentially accelerating thaw and climate feedbacks, yet the specific controls on soil temperature responses remain unclear.
