Sino-Tibetan languages [PDF]

, 2010
The Sino-Tibetan (ST) language family includes the Sinitic languages (what for political reasons are known as Chinese ‘dialects’) and the 200 to 300 Tibeto-Burman (TB) languages.

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.

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Origin and radiative forcing of black carbon transported to the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2010
The remote and high elevation regions of central Asia are influenced by black carbon (BC) emissions from a variety of locations. BC deposition contributes to melting of glaciers and questions exist, of both scientific and policy interest, as to the ...

Attribution of the Tibetan Plateau to northern drought [PDF]

National Science Review, 2019
<p>The Tibetan Plateau (TP), which is located in Asia and has an average elevation of over 4000 m, acts as a raised source of heat and an isolated region of humidity in the atmosphere. The TP serves as a “world water tower” because it stores large amounts of water as glaciers, lakes, and rivers ...

Convergent evolution of metabolic functions: Evidence from the gut microbiomes of humans and dogs

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Dogs have undergone convergent evolution in their genome with humans in long‐term co‐living. Studies have shown that the gut microbiomes of dogs exhibit greater similarity to those of humans compared to mice and pigs. In our study, we first compared the gut microbiomes of macaques, three dog groups, and two wolf groups to those in humans.

Interacting with the \u27Himalayan \u3ci\u3eUmmah\u3c/i\u3e\u27. The case of Xidaotang, a Chinese Muslim Community from Lintan [PDF]

, 2018
This short essay discusses whether Xidaotang, a Chinese Muslim community, may be considered as belonging to the ‘Himalayan ummah’. Historically and until today, especially via trade, this community has been in close contact with the Himalayan region ...

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Proglacial river sediments are a substantial sink of perfluoroalkyl substances released by glacial meltwater

Communications Earth & Environment
How climate change will influence the accumulation of pollutants in remote mountainous lakes is poorly understood. Here we collected sediment cores from two glacial lakes (one is small and close to glacier, and the other is large and far from glacier) in

Spatial and Temporal Changes of Wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau Between 1990 and 2020

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Highly sensitive to climate change and glacier melt, alpine wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau have important implications for carbon storage and animal habitat.
