A new biologic paleoaltimetry indicating Late Miocene rapid uplift of northern Tibet Plateau

Science, 2022
The uplift of the Tibet Plateau (TP) during the Miocene is crucial to understanding the evolution of Asian monsoon regimes and alpine biodiversity. However, the northern Tibet Plateau (NTP) remains poorly investigated.

Integrating potential ecosystem services losses into ecological risk assessment of land use changes: A case study on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2022
In recent years, climate change has caused a significant increase in the natural disaster risk on a global scale, posing a great threat to humans and ecosystems.

The impact of land use and land cover changes on the landscape pattern and ecosystem service value in Sanjiangyuan region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2022
Decades of intensifying human activities have caused dramatic changes in land use and land cover (LULC) in the ecologically fragile areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which have led to significant changes in ecosystem service value (ESV).

Asymmetric Impacts of Diurnal Warming on Vegetation Carbon Sequestration of Marshes in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2022
As the world's Third Pole, the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has a large area of marshes, which plays an important role in global carbon cycle. The net primary productivity (NPP) of vegetation is a crucial index for measuring the carbon flux of marsh ecosystems.

Aridity and NPP constrain contribution of microbial necromass to soil organic carbon in the Qinghai-Tibet alpine grasslands

, 2021
Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is key to soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. However, mechanisms regulating MNC accumulation on large scales are poorly understood.

Climate suitability assessment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Climate is an important factor that affects livability, but the climate comfort model used for low altitudes is not applicable to high altitudes, and further study on climate suitability in high-altitude areas is needed.

Changing climate and the permafrost environment on the Qinghai–Tibet (Xizang) plateau

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2020
Permafrost on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has undergone degradation as a result of recent climate change. This may alter the thermo‐hydrological processes and unlock soil organic carbon, and thereby affect local hydrological, ecological, and climatic

Raising Tibet

Science, 1992
Thermochronologic, sedimentologic, oceanographic, and paleoclimatic studies suggest that rapid uplift and unroofing of southern Tibet began about 20 million years ago and that the present elevation of much of the Tibetan plateau was attained by about 8 million years ago. Hypotheses advanced to explain the tectonic evolution of the India-Asia collision,

Predicting tourists' health risk preventative behaviour and travelling satisfaction in Tibet: Combining the theory of planned behaviour and health belief model

, 2020
Both the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the health belief model (HBM) are important theories to analyse health-related behaviours; however, few studies have combined these theories to explore health risk issues in the tourism context.
