Recent permafrost warming on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2008Permafrost temperature monitoring through 10 boreholes up to 10.7 m depth has been conducted half‐monthly from 1996 through 2006 along the Qinghai‐Tibetan Highway. The primary results show that the long‐term mean annual permafrost temperatures at 6.0 m depth vary from −0.19°C at the Touerjiu Mountains (TM1) site to −3.43°C at Fenghuo Mountain (FH1 ...

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 ...

Investigation of biogenic volatile organic compounds emissions in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Science of The Total Environment, 2023Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), which are produced and emitted by plants, have significant chemical reactivity in the atmosphere and impacting climate change. Qinghai Province, a vital component of the plateau, has abundant vegetation resources, primarily grasslands and forests, yet BVOCs emissions and their impact on air quality remain ...

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.

The Qingzang movement: The major uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Science China Earth Sciences, 2015Thirty-five years ago, the idea of a young Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau was proposed based on a comprehensive investigation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. This hypothesis suggested that the plateau began to rise from a planation surface (relict surface) that was less than 1000 m high formed during the Miocene to Pliocene.
