Ecological and environmental issues faced by a developing Tibet.
T Tibetan plateau, covering an area of 2.6 million km with an average elevation of over 4000 m, often called “the third pole of the world”, has fundamental significance to the environment of China, Asia, and the world. The Tibetan plateau is called a “water tower” due to its downstream influence on approximately 40% of the world’s population. It is a region with rich species diversity and a hig...
متن کاملPrecise estimation of soil organic carbon stocks in the northeast Tibetan Plateau.
There is a need for accurate estimate of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks for understanding the role of alpine soils in the global carbon cycle. We tested a method for mapping digitally the continuous distribution of the SOC stock in three dimensions in the northeast of the Tibetan Plateau. The approach integrated the spatial distribution of the mattic epipedon which is a special surface horizo...
متن کاملLarge-scale estimation and uncertainty analysis of gross primary production in Tibetan alpine grasslands
Gross primary production (GPP) is an important parameter for carbon cycle and climate change research. Previous estimations of GPP on the Tibetan Plateau were usually reported without quantitative uncertainty analyses. This study sought to quantify the uncertainty and its partitioning in GPP estimation across Tibetan alpine grasslands during 2003–2008 with the modified Vegetation Photosynthesis...
متن کاملScale-Dependent Performance of CMIP5 Earth System Models in Simulating Terrestrial Vegetation Carbon*
Model intercomparisons and evaluations against observations are essential for better understanding of models’ performance and for identifying the sources of uncertainty in their output. The terrestrial vegetation carbon simulated by 11 Earth system models (ESMs) involved in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) was evaluated in this study. The simulated vegetation carbonw...
متن کاملMonitoring and Modeling the Tibetan Plateau’s climate system and its impact on East Asia
The Tibetan Plateau is an important water source in Asia. As the "Third Pole" of the Earth, the Tibetan Plateau has significant dynamic and thermal effects on East Asian climate patterns, the Asian monsoon process and atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. However, little systematic knowledge is available regarding the changing climate system of the Tibetan Plateau and the mechanis...
