Reduced Upwind Moisture Transport Contributes to Drought in the Agro‐Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract It remains unclear how changes in moisture supply drive droughts in the Agro‐Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China (APENC), where ecological restoration and food security are increasingly vulnerable under warming. Using a moisture‐tracking model, we quantify the moisture sources of APENC's precipitation and its trends, and reveal mechanisms ...

Profiles and risk assessment of antibiotic resistome between Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and polar regions

Geography and Sustainability
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are increasingly recognized as a global public health threat, with glaciers acting as reservoirs for ARGs transported via atmospheric pathways. Warming climate accelerates glacier melting, releasing ARGs into downstream

Multi-omics profiling reveals single-seed mutants of Ephedra saxatilis as dominant variants in high-altitude Xizang

BMC Plant Biology
Ephedra species, important Tibetan medicinal plants, are widely distributed across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at altitudes of 2700–5000 m. Their adaptation to high-altitude environments, such as low temperatures, strong UV radiation and low oxygen, is ...

Integration approaches for overlapping protected areas in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Overlapping protected areas, where the same land is designated as more than one type of protected area, is a widespread issue that complicates the management and effectiveness of the protected area network. Systematically assessing the extent of overlap, along with their effective integration, is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of protected ...

Accurate AQI forecasting in a high-altitude city using a simulated CVOCA-BiLSTM hybrid model: a case study of Lhasa, Tibet

Scientific Reports
Forecasting of the Air Quality Index (AQI) in high-altitude cities is significantly challenged by nonlinear temporal dynamics, particularly due to complex interactions between atmospheric physics and pollutant transport.
