Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Effect of heat-treatment on corrosion behavior of Mg-4Gd-2Nd alloy

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Understanding the corrosion behavior of Mg alloys in the Cl− environments is crucial to preventing catastrophic accidents in their facilities due to their poor corrosion. The microstructures and corrosion behaviors of the Mg-4Gd-2Nd alloy under different

Isotopes in hydrology and hydrogeology [PDF]

, 2019
The structure, status, and processes of the groundwater system, which can only be acquired through scientific research efforts, are critical aspects of water resource management. Isotope hydrology and hydrogeology is a genuinely interdisciplinary science.

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Isotope and hydrochemistry reveal evolutionary processes of lake water in Qinghai Lake [PDF]

Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2016
Abstract Qinghai Lake is the largest lake in China and is one of more than 500 brackish lakes on the Tibet Plateau. This study investigated stable isotopes (δ 18 O and δ 2 H) and hydrochemistry of lake water in Qinghai Lake and surrounding lakes to understand the lakes' evolutionary processes.

Genetic Basis of UV Bullseye Size Variations in Turnip Rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Floral ultraviolet (UV) patterns are visible to bee pollinators and can affect crop yields by impacting pollinator visitation. However, the mechanisms underlying the intraspecific variations of UV bullseye size remain largely unknown. We analyse the ecological consequences and genetic basis of floral UV bullseye size variation in an important ...
