Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Identifying reservoirs in northwestern Iran using high-resolution satellite images and deep learning

Geo-spatial Information Science
Reservoirs play a critical role in terrestrial hydrological systems, but the contribution of small and medium-sized ones is rarely considered and recorded.

The spatial variation of Asian dust and marine aerosol contributions to glaciochemical signals in central Asia [PDF]

, 1992
Short-term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from several glacier basins in the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution of snow chemistry in central Asia is controlled by the influx of dust from the large ...

Long‐Term Active Rather than Passive Restoration Promotes Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation by Alleviating Microbial Nitrogen Limitation in an Extremely Degraded Alpine Grassland

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Active restoration increases soil organic carbon stocks by reducing microbial nitrogen limitation. Nitrogen availability promotes particulate to mineral‐associated organic carbon conversion by reducing microbial carbon use efficiency. Passive restoration has no effect on soil organic carbon stocks.

Assessing spatiotemporal characteristics of atmospheric water cycle processes over the Tibetan Plateau using the WRF model and finer box model

Scientific Reports
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the highest and one of the most extensive plateaus in the world and serves as a hotspot of climate change. In the context of climate warming, changes in evapotranspiration (ET) and external water vapor transport have a ...

Turbulent lithosphere deformation in the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2019
In this work, we show that the Tibetan Plateau deformation demonstrates a turbulence-like statistics, e.g., spatial invariance cross continuous scales. A dual-power-law behavior is evident to show the existence of two possible conversation laws for the enstrophy-like cascade on the range $500\lesssim r\lesssim 2,000\,\si{km}$ and kinetic-energy-like ...

Hump‐Shaped Relationship Between Microbial Carbon Use‐Efficiency and Soil Organic Carbon in Alpine Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
On the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) peaks at intermediate soil organic carbon levels and declines thereafter. In carbon‐rich soils, the formation of stable mineral‐associated organic carbon is decoupled from microbial CUE.

A New Method of Diagnosing the Historical and Projected Changes in Permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau

Earth's Future
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the largest permafrost distribution zone at high‐altitude in the mid‐latitude region. Climate change has caused significant permafrost degradation on the TP, which has important impacts for the eco‐hydrological processes.

Water use efficiency of China\u27s terrestrial ecosystems and responses to drought [PDF]

, 2015
Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss of terrestrial ecosystems, and better understanding its dynamics and controlling factors is essential for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change.
