Formation condition and distribution prediction of gas hydrate in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau permafrost

open access: yes, 2005
Permafrost is one of major geological environments for gas hydrate occurrences. Mean altitude is over 4000m and the permafrost area is about 1.4 x 10(6)km(2) in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Based on the thickness of frozen layer and thermal gradient in Qinghai-

Alpine Secondary Forest Types Influence Soil Microbial Community Structure and Enzyme Activities on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10107-10126, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities and enzyme activities influence soil functions and tree growth in ecologically fragile alpine regions. However, differences in soil microbial communities among secondary forests remain poorly understood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

Experiment on Qinghai-Tibet railroad subgrade temperature monitoring based on FBG sensors

open access: yes, 2005
Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the longest and highest plateau railway in the world. A long term monitoring system of the stability of the subgrade in the permafrost regions should be put forward immediately to prevent damage to the railway.

Yaks Are Dependent on Gut Microbiota for Survival in the Environment of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau

open access: yes
The yak (Poephagus grunniens) has evolved unique adaptations to survive the harsh environment of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, while their gut microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the animal.

Greening and Divergent Stability Responses in Central Asian Mountain Grasslands Under the Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy of China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10147-10161, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mountain grasslands of Central Asia, recognized as a globally significant biodiversity hotspot and a vital pastoral resource, are presently experiencing profound transformations driven by climate change and evolving grazing practices. This study investigated the multidimensional dynamics of ecosystem stability in the Bayinbuluk grassland of ...

The Aridity Threshold of Soil Organic Carbon Density Along the Climate Aridity Gradient in the Alpine Ecosystem of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10205-10216, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is a key indicator for evaluating the stability of soil carbon pools, especially in alpine ecosystems that are sensitive to climate change. However, research on the response of SOCD to different aridity gradients is still limited. Therefore, we conducted extensive sampling along different aridity gradients of

Significant Imbalance Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Services in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Evidence From an Improved Coupling Coordination Degree Model

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10255-10271, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maintaining balanced interactions between humans and ecosystems in plateau regions is critical to achieving global sustainable development. However, existing methodologies are insufficient to fully elucidate the complex coupling and coordination relationships between human activities and ecosystems, as well as the sustainable development ...
