Acceleration of thaw slump during 1997–2017 in the Qilian Mountains of the northern Qinghai-Tibetan plateau
Climate warming increases thermokarst landscapes and thus leads to land degradation in
the Circum-Arctic regions. Thermokarst landscapes were estimated to cover~ 20% of the …

Below‐ground plant traits influence tundra plant acquisition of newly thawed permafrost nitrogen
The release of permafrost‐derived nitrogen (N) has the potential to fertilize tundra
vegetation, which in turn may stimulate productivity and thus offset carbon (C) losses from …

Permafrost nitrogen status and its determinants on the Tibetan Plateau
C Mao, D Kou, L Chen, S Qin, D Zhang… - Global Change …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
It had been suggested that permafrost thaw could promote frozen nitrogen (N) release and
modify microbial N transformation rates, which might alter soil N availability and then …

Dramatic carbon loss in a permafrost thaw slump in the Tibetan plateau is dominated by the loss of microbial necromass carbon
Thaw slumps can lead to considerable carbon loss in permafrost regions, while the loss of
components from two major origins, ie, microbial and plant-derived carbon, during this …

A conceptual model of the controlling factors of soil organic carbon and nitrogen densities in a permafrost‐affected region on the eastern Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau
Many investigations of the preservation of soil organic carbon (SOC) in permafrost regions
have examined roles of geomorphology, pedogenesis, vegetation cover, and permafrost …

Environmental controls on soil organic carbon and nitrogen stocks in the high‐altitude arid western Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau permafrost region
While permafrost in the circum‐Artic has great influence on soil organic carbon (SOC) and
total nitrogen (TN) stocks, this might not be the case in low‐latitude arid permafrost regions …

Spatial variability of active layer thickness detected by ground‐penetrating radar in the Qilian Mountains, Western China
The active layer plays a key role in geomorphic, hydrologic, and biogeochemical processes
in permafrost regions. We conducted a systematic investigation of active layer thickness …
