No Consistent Evidence for Advancing or Delaying Trends in Spring Phenology on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2017
Vegetation phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and has significant effects on the exchange of carbon, water, and energy between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere.

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]

, 2020
Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

Late Holocene forcing of the Asian winter and summer monsoon as evidenced by proxy records from the northern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2009
Little is known about decadal- to centennial-scale climate variability and its associated forcing mechanisms on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. A decadal-resolution record of total organic carbon (TOC) and grainsize retrieved from a composite piston core ...

Complex responses of spring vegetation growth to climate in a moisture-limited alpine meadow. [PDF]

, 2016
Since 2000, the phenology has advanced in some years and at some locations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, whereas it has been delayed in others. To understand the variations in spring vegetation growth in response to climate, we conducted both regional ...

Cortical Thickness of Native Tibetans in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2017
High-altitude environmental factors and genetic variants together could have exerted their effects on the human brain. The present study was designed to investigate the cerebral morphology in high-altitude native Tibetans.T1-weighted brain images were obtained from 77 Tibetan adolescents on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (altitude, 2300-5300 m) and 80 ...

Radial Growth of Qilian Juniper on the Northeast Tibetan Plateau and Potential Climate Associations [PDF]

, 2013
There is controversy regarding the limiting climatic factor for tree radial growth at the alpine treeline on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we collected 594 increment cores from 331 trees, grouped within four altitude belts spanning the

A Quantification of Heat Storage Change-Based Evaporation Behavior in Middle–Large-Sized Lakes in the Inland of the Tibetan Plateau and Their Temporal and Spatial Variations

Remote Sensing, 2023
A large number of different-sized lakes exist in the inland area of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which are examples of the important connection between the atmosphere and hydrosphere through the analysis of lake surface convergence and evaporation processes.
