The ecological footprint and ecosystem service functions in the northwest arid region of China have their unique characteristics are limited by natural resources. coordination level between pressure human activities on capacity can be objectively reflected exploring coupling relationship these two aspects. This work used Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs models to quantitativel...

Climate change has significantly influenced water resource patterns in arid regions. Applying effective water-saving measures to improve irrigation efficiency and evaluate their future capabilities is crucial for ensuring the sustainable development of agriculture. Based on daily meteorological data from 15 global climate models (GCMs) sixth phase Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), ...

The Pamir plateau protrudes ?300 km between the Tajik- and Tarim-basin lithosphere of Central Asia. Whether its salient location shape are caused by forceful indentation a promontory Indian mantle is debated. We present new local-seismicity focal-mechanism catalog, P-wave velocity model eastern part collision system. data suggest south-dipping Asian slab that overturns in easternmost segment. l...

The Taklimakan Desert is located in the foreland basin of the Tibetan Plateau. We report here the results of stratigraphic investigations of a 1626-meter-thick sequence with interbedded wind-blown silt from the southern marginal Taklimakan Desert. Because the studied section is located downwind of the desert, the eolian silt accumulation is closely linked to desert formation. Our new evidence i...

Dünyamız ısınmakta, yüksek ısı dalgaları akabinde ortaya çıkan sıcaklık artışı, kuraklık, yağış düzeninde değişimler; insan kaynaklı küresel iklim değişikliğinin neden ve sonuçları olup, bu değişimin sıklığı yoğunluğu giderek daha belirgin hale gelmektedir. Bu değişimler tarım gibi temel bir sektörde önemli dalgalanmalara olurken; su yönetimi, yeşil alan, mahsul verimi, gıda güvenliği, beslenme...
