Evidence for glaciation predating MIS-6 in southeastern Tibet
Southeastern Tibet is one of the most glaciated regions on the Tibetan Plateau both at present and during the Quaternary. Numerical dating of glacial deposits has allowed the establishment of a provisional chronology of Quaternary ...

Researchers find maintenance mechanism of microbial diversity in Tibet wetlands
Microorganisms participate in biogeochemical cycles of key elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfate), and their diversity is closely correlated with soil ecosystem functions. Disentangling the geographic ...

Understanding uncertainties in projected summer precipitation changes over the Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau (TP), a complex high-altitude region with an average elevation of 4,000 meters, is widely recognized as the "Asian Water Tower" and "the third pole." Changes in precipitation over the TP significantly ...

Novel protocol helps to quantify catchment-scale nitrate yield and fluvial export dynamics
Anthropogenic production of reactive nitrogen (N) is increasing rapidly due to the growing demand for food production. Rivers are the receptors of N, especially nitrate (NO3–), produced in their drainage catchments, therefore, ...
