Abstract The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) has experienced atmospheric warming,
cryosphere thaw and intensified human activities since the 1970s. These changes have had …

Permafrost regions at high latitudes and altitudes store about half of the Earth's soil organic
carbon (SOC). These areas are also some of the most intensely affected by anthropogenic …

Permafrost degradation may induce soil carbon (C) loss, critical for global C cycling, and be
mediated by microbes. Despite larger C stored within the active layer of permafrost regions …

摘要自然环境是人类赖以生存和发展的基础, 探索自然环境及其各要素(如地貌, 气候, 水文,
土壤等) 的特征, 演变过程, 地域分异规律以及驱动机制是自然地理学的重点研究内容 …

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has the largest areas of permafrost terrain in the mid-and low-
latitude regions of the world. Some permafrost distribution maps have been compiled but …

摘要青藏高原是全球中纬度面积最大的多年冻土分布区, 青藏高原多年冻土对东亚季风乃至全球
气候系统都有重要影响. 本文在前人研究成果的基础上, 系统地梳理了青藏高原多年冻土基本 …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stored in permafrost across the high-latitude/altitude Northern
Hemisphere represents an important potential carbon source under future warming. Here …

Air temperature increases thermally degrade permafrost, which has widespread impacts on
engineering design, resource development, and environmental protection in cold regions …

Permafrost degradation poses serious threats to both natural and human systems through its
influence on ecological–hydrological processes, infrastructure stability, and the climate …

Permafrost soils store large amounts of carbon. Warming can result in carbon release from
thawing permafrost, but it can also lead to enhanced primary production, which can increase …
