Observed Retrogressive Thaw Slump Evolution in the Qilian Mountains

Remote Sensing
Climate warming can lead to permafrost degradation, potentially resulting in slope failures such as retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs). The formation of and changes in RTSs could exacerbate the degradation of permafrost and the environment in general. The mechanisms of RTS progression and the potential consequences on the analogous freeze–thaw cycle are ...

The Dongcaohe ophiolite from the North Qilian Mountains: A fossil oceanic crust of the Paleo-Qilian ocean

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2007
The Dongcaohe ophiolite, located at the south of the North Qilian subduction complexes, is a tectonic block with an exposed area of about 3 km×6 km. It consists of an intrusive section overlain by an extrusive section. The lower part of the intrusive section consists of cyclic layers of cumulate dunites, troctolites, anorthosites, anorthositic gabbros,

Tree-ringbased drought reconstruction (a.d. 1855-2001) for the Qilian mountains；northwestern China [PDF]

, 2007
A juniper (Juniperus przewalskii Kom) tree-ring width chronology has been developed from the western-most forest of the Qilian Mountains. Our analyses demonstrate both temperature and precipitation have significant effects on tree growth and that both ...

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.

Evaluation and Projection of Precipitation in CMIP6 Models over the Qilian Mountains, China

Remote Sensing, 2023
The Qilian Mountains (QMs) act as the “water tower” of the Hexi Corridors, playing an important role in the regional ecosystem security and economic development. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the spatiotemporal characteristics of precipitation in the QMs. This study evaluated the performance of 21 models of phase 6 of the Coupled

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 ...
