Water property in high-altitude Qinghai Lake in China
Qinghai Lake in China, which is located at an altitude of 3260 m, is the highest inland lake among the 50 largest lakes in the world. Therefore, satellite measurement of water quality is the most important and feasible tool for routinely assessing the ...

Impacts of climate change on Tibetan lakes: patterns and processes [PDF]
High-altitude inland-drainage lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), the earth’s third pole, are very sensitive to climate change. Tibetan lakes are important natural resources with important religious, historical, and cultural significance.

Abstract Human populations native to high altitude have evolved distinct physiological adaptations to chronic hypoxia. This adaptation is evident in the O2 transport cascade. In this review, with brief inclusion of the related genetic adaptations, we compare the O2 cascade across three well‐characterized high‐altitude populations: Andeans (Aymara and ...

Evolution of H5N1 Cross‐Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian‐to‐Human Infection
This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need

Variations in spruce (Picea sp.) distribution in the Chinese Loess Plateau and surrounding areas during the Holocene [PDF]
Based on published pollen data from 44 sites in the Loess Plateau and surrounding areas, we recalculate values of Picea abundance digitized from the original diagrams and construct six isopoll maps to reconstruct the distribution of ...

Abstract Dissolved silicate (DSi) export from rivers is shaped by both natural processes and human activities. Using long‐term observations at Lijin station combined with chemical weathering and reservoir silicon cycling models, we reconstructed annual DSi fluxes and source‐sink dynamics in the Yellow River Basin since the 1980s.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,
