Enhancing protected areas for biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Ecosystem Services, 2020
Incorporating ecosystem services (ES) conservation into the goals of protected areas (PA) is being acknowledged. Identifying conservation gaps in existing PAs and delineating priority regions for conserving biodiversity and ES in the Qinghai–Tibet ...

Spatio-temporal variations and coupling of human activity intensity and ecosystem services based on the four-quadrant model on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Human activities have an impact on the structure and function of ecosystems, which in turn affects ecosystem service (ES) supply and demand. Based on the four-quadrant model of human activities and ecosystem services, this study evaluated the ecological ...

Investigation, Monitoring, and Simulation of Permafrost on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau: A Review

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes
The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the largest permafrost region in the world at low and middle latitudes and high elevation. Permafrost is being degraded on the QTP due to global warming, which has a significant effect on regional climate, hydrological,

Asymmetric Impacts of Diurnal Warming on Vegetation Carbon Sequestration of Marshes in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2022
As the world's Third Pole, the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has a large area of marshes, which plays an important role in global carbon cycle. The net primary productivity (NPP) of vegetation is a crucial index for measuring the carbon flux of marsh ecosystems.

The Electrical Structure of Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2005
The electrical conductivity model of the crust beneath northeastern Qinghai-Tibet is obtained from inverting TE and TM mode responses simultaneously using the non-linear conjugate gradient inversion (NLCG) algorithm. The result shows that there exist high electrical conductivity layers in the middle and lower crust beneath the northeastern Qinghai ...

Estimation of Permafrost Ground Ice to 10 m Depth on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes
Permafrost ground ice melting could alter hydrological processes in cold regions by releasing water. Currently, there is a lack of gridded data of ground ice from the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP).

Pastoral farming on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

2018
We report on pastoral farming systems in Henan County (altitude 3600 metres) within the Sanjiangyuan (Three-River Headwaters) Region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Our information comes from in-depth interviews of 16 pastoral farming families, one focus group, plus discussions with key local informants.

Paracoccus tibetensis sp. nov., isolated from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau permafrost

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2013
Strain Tibet-S9a3T was isolated from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau permafrost, China. The isolate was a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming short rod. The 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain Tibet-S9a3T was a member of the genus Paracoccus and was closely ...

Recent acceleration of thaw slumping in permafrost terrain of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: An example from the Beiluhe Region

Geomorphology, 2019
Thaw slump activity has recently increased in permafrost areas of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Thaw slumps may influence the stability of infrastructure and impact global biogeochemical cycles.

Soil microbial distribution and assembly are related to vegetation biomass in the alpine permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
It is generally believed that there is a vegetation succession sequence from alpine marsh meadow to desert in the alpine ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
