Influencing Factors and Paths of the Coupling Relationship Between Ecosystem Services Supply–Demand and Human Well-Being in the Hexi Regions, Northwest China

Remote Sensing
The coupling coordination relationship between ecosystem services supply–demand and human well-being in arid inland regions is increasingly vulnerable to imbalance risks under the combined pressures of climate change and intensified anthropogenic ...

Elevation-dependent shift of landslide activity in mountain permafrost regions of the Qilian Mountains

Advances in Climate Change Research
Increasing landslide activities in cold regions have been attributed to rising temperatures and consequent permafrost degradation. While previous studies have linked permafrost degradation to slope instability, the elevation-dependent effects of this degradation on landslide occurrences in the high-mountain regions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP ...

The Impact of Artificial Restoration of Alpine Grasslands in the Qilian Mountains on Vegetation, Soil Bacteria, and Soil Fungal Community Diversity

Microorganisms
To understand how the soil microbial community structure responds to vegetation restoration in alpine mining areas, this study specifically examines the grassland ecosystem in the Qianmalong mining area of the Qilian Mountains after five years of ...

A long-term simulation of forest carbon fluxes over the Qilian Mountains

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2016
AbstractIn this work, we integrated a remote-sensing-based (the MODIS MOD_17 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) model (MOD_17)) and a process-based (the Biome-BioGeochemical Cycles (Biome-BGC) model) ecological model in order to estimate long-term (from 2000 to 2012) forest carbon fluxes over the Qilian Mountains in northwest China, a cold and arid ...

Research on the infiltration processes of lawn soils of the Babao River in the Qilian Mountain

Water Science and Technology, 2014
Using a Guelph Permeameter, the soil water infiltration processes were analyzed in the Babao River of the Qilian Mountain in China. The results showed that the average soil initial infiltration and the steady infiltration rates in the upstream reaches of the Babao River are 1.93 and 0.99 cm/min, whereas those of the middle area are 0.48 cm/min and 0.21

Small-sample-data augmentation and transfer strategies for forest cover change monitoring

Ecological Indicators
The Qilian Mountains serves as a critical ecological barrier in northwest China, where the forest coverage strongly connected with the regional ecosystem stability, water conservation as well as climate change.

Recent intensified riverine CO2 emission across the Northern Hemisphere permafrost region

Nature Communications
Global warming causes permafrost thawing, transferring large amounts of soil carbon into rivers, which inevitably accelerates riverine CO2 release. However, temporally and spatially explicit variations of riverine CO2 emissions remain unclear, limiting ...

Environmental Controls on Evapotranspiration and Its Components in a Qinghai Spruce Forest in the Qilian Mountains

Plants
Qinghai spruce forests, found in the Qilian mountains, are a typical type of water conservation forest and play an important role in regulating the regional water balance and quantifying the changes and controlling factors for evapotranspiration (ET) and

Mechanisms of Suprapermafrost Groundwater Recharge Streamflow in Alpine Permafrost Regions: Insights From Young Water Fraction Analysis

Water Resources Research
This study investigates the temporal processes of suprapermafrost groundwater (SPG)‐supplied streamflow in alpine permafrost regions, aiming to fill the gap in understanding this process from a water‐age perspective.

Elevation Correction of ERA5 Reanalysis Temperature over the Qilian Mountains of China

Atmosphere
Air temperature acts as a key indicator of climate change. In regions with high elevations and scarce meteorological stations, reanalysis temperature datasets are vital for estimating temperatures.
