The ERA5-Land soil temperature bias in permafrost regions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
ERA5-Land (ERA5L) is a reanalysis product derived by running the land component of ERA5 at increased resolution. This study evaluates ERA5L soil temperature in permafrost regions based on observations and published permafrost products. We find that ERA5L

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

Loess Plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan Plateau-derived Yellow River sediment [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2015
AbstractMarine accumulations of terrigenous sediment are widely assumed to accurately record climatic- and tectonic-controlled mountain denudation and play an important role in understanding late Cenozoic mountain uplift and global cooling. Underpinning this is the assumption that the majority of sediment eroded from hinterland orogenic belts is ...

The mechanics of the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1988
Continental convergence results in compressional deformation over a distance, perpendicular to strike, that is comparable to the length of the convergent boundary. The compressional forces generated by the convergence are resisted, to some extent, by the extensional deviatoric stresses arising from isostatically balanced increases in crustal thickness;

Legal Complexity on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law, 2006
AbstractThe dominating nature of the legal and judicial control exercised by the Chinese government over the Tibetan pastoralists of Amdo masks a host of complex relations by which they maintain order. Rather than analysing the relations between them in terms of domination and resistance, it is suggested that there is both adaptation and resistance ...

Dynamic Changes of a Thick Debris-Covered Glacier in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Debris-covered glaciers have contrasting melting mechanisms and climate response patterns if compared with debris-free glaciers and thus show a unique influence on the hydrological process.

Effects of phosphorus application on soil phosphorus forms and phoD-harboring microbial communities in an alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Phosphorus (P) application to terrestrial ecosystems affects not only aboveground plants but also soil P forms and phosphatase-associated microbes. The phoD gene is widespread in soil and plays an important role in P transformation.
