Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A New Method of Diagnosing the Historical and Projected Changes in Permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau
Earth's FutureThe 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.

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

Functional group and aridity regulate impacts of climate change on plant phenology: a meta-analysis
Nature CommunicationsThe interaction between temperature and precipitation greatly affects plant phenology. However, these effects can vary between additive, antagonistic, and synergistic, and it is not clear what determines these different outcomes.

Selection and environmental adaptation along a path to speciation in the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri. [PDF]
, 2018 Tibetan frogs, Nanorana parkeri, are differentiated genetically but not morphologically along geographical and elevational gradients in a challenging environment, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate processes leading to speciation. Analyses of
