Migration, Risk and Livelihoods: A Chinese Case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
China has turned from a ‘low risk’ to a ‘high risk’ society since the start of the market reforms in the late 1970s. Market, while bringing diverse livelihood opportunities to rural people, has simultaneously distributed risks, and the exposure and ...

Comparative Analysis of Metal Preloading Technologies in Batteries and Capacitors

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Metal preloading strategies play an important role in efficient batteries and hybrid capacitors to compensate for the consumed metals at the first discharge. This article reviews recent progress in preloading technologies in lithium‐ion and other metal‐ion systems.

Linkages and key factors between soil bacterial and fungal communities along an altitudinal gradient of different slopes on mount Segrila, Tibet, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil microbes are of great significance to many energy flow and material circulation processes in alpine forest ecosystems. The distribution pattern of soil microbial community along altitudinal gradients is an essential research topic for the Tibetan ...

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Determination of earthquake focal depths and source time functions in central Asia using teleseismic P waveforms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We developed a new method to determine earthquake source time functions and focal depths. It uses theoretical Green's function and a time-domain deconvolution with positivity constraint to estimate the source time function from the teleseismic P ...

An outline of avalanches in the southeastern Tibet Plateau, China [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 1992
Avalanches are a widespread hazard that cause serious damage in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Abundant solid precipitation and high relief are favourable for avalanche occurrence. The monsoon climate brings a lot of precipitation which, however, is not well distributed. Avalanches are most common around the margins of the plateau.

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To
