DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2115676119
Abstract: Tibetan alpine permafrost soils functioned as a significant net carbon sink during 2000 to 2010 (1), causing a negative climate–carbon feedback under a changing climate; however, the current and future fates of this sink across… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.771424
Abstract: Unique ecosystems distributed in alpine areas of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau play important roles in climate change mitigation, local food supply, and conservation of species diversity. To understand the water use efficiency (WUE) of this fragile… read more here.
