Landscape structure and dynamics on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Ecological Modelling, 2016Abstract Quantitative characterisation of landscapes through derivation of landscape indices helps to define landscape composition, but provides limited insight into configuration attributes. This research demonstrates how the combined use of landscape indices and graph theory (and its associated analytical tools) can produce more substantive ...

Phylogeography of Tibetan snowcock (Tetraogallus tibetanus) in Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2009Data from eight microsatellite loci were used to infer the evolutionary and past demographic processes in 97 Tibetan snowcocks sampled from eight different geographical locations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Analysis of the microsatellite DNA markers indicated that Tibetan snowcock on the plateau were geographically structured, and that phylogenetic

The glacier movement estimation and analysis with InSAR in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau
2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009The glacier is important factor in climatological and hydrological investigations, especially in the western China. Glacier changes are among the clearest signals of on-going warming trends existing in nature. In view of environmental changes, combined with the high thermal sensitivity of earth's mountain glaciers, especially in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau,

The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau: How High Do Tibetans Live?
High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2001A lower incidence of chronic mountain sickness (CMS) has apparently been observed in Tibetans in comparison to Andeans of South America. In the past, the hypothesis of "geographic differences" has been constructed to explain these population differences.

Holocene lake level variations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2013Paleoshorelines indicative of multiple high lake stages can be found around many lakes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Conspicuous paleoshorelines associated with the most recent highstands can be readily observed on satellite images and during field investigations.

Aerobic methanotroph diversity in Riganqiao peatlands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
Environmental microbiology reports, 2013The Zoige Plateau is characterized by its high altitude, low latitude and low annual mean temperature of approximately 1°C and is a major source of atmospheric methane in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Methanotrophs play an important role in the global cycling of CH4, but the diversity, identity and activity of methanotrophs in this region are poorly ...
