Mapping risk of plague in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2014
Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of China is known to be the plague endemic region where marmot (Marmota himalayana) is the primary host. Human plague cases are relatively low incidence but high mortality, which presents unique surveillance and public health challenges, because early detection through surveillance may not always be feasible and infrequent ...

An early warning signal for grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
AbstractIntense grazing may lead to grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but it is difficult to predict where this will occur and to quantify it. Based on a process-based ecosystem model, we define a productivity-based stocking rate threshold that induces extreme grassland degradation to assess whether and where the current grazing ...

Snow effects on alpine vegetation in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2013
Understanding the relationships between snow and vegetation is important for interpretation of the responses of alpine ecosystems to climate changes. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is regarded as an ideal area due to its undisturbed features with low population and relatively high snow cover.

The Multiple Perspective Response of Vegetation to Drought on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2023
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is a global center of cold and dry, where the most extensive fragile alpine vegetation exists. Quantitative analysis of drought event characteristics and vegetation response to drought on the QTP is indispensable for understanding the increasing drought events in a warming climate which exacerbate adverse influence on ...
