From exposures at the southeastern end of the Maza Tagh range in the central Tarim Basin (latitude: 38.5‡N; longitude: 80.5‡E), 55 paleomagnetic sites were collected from red mudstones and sandstones of the Miocene Wuqia Formation. Thermal demagnetization revealed a high unblocking temperature characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM). Five sites collected across a kink fold yield a positive...

Quantifying water use for agricultural production and accurate evaluation is important achieving a balance between supply demand sustainable use, especially in arid regions. This study quantifies the footprint of food Tarim River Basin (TRB) from 2000 to 2019 by conducting sustainability using both DPSIR model as theoretical framework, analyzing spatial temporal changes. The results show that T...

Abstract Identifying suitable habitats for endangered species is critical in order to promote their recovery. However, conventional distribution models (SDMs) need large amounts of labeled sample data learn the relationship between and environmental conditions, are difficult fully detangle role environment species, which very sparsely distributed have heterogeneity. This study’s first innovatio...

The Tarim River is the largest inland river in China, which plays a crucial role maintaining regional ecological security and carbon cycle/dynamic. However, “green corridor” Taitema Lake region at lower reaches of has unclear environmental changes future dynamics due to influence water conveyance. Hence, protecting China strategically important not only ecologically but also socially economical...
