The source region of the Yellow River (SRYR) in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is critical
for supplying water resources to downstream areas. However, streamflow in the SRYR …

Climate change has rapidly degraded the cryosphere in alpine headwaters, altering the
runoff regime of alpine watersheds and threatening water security worldwide. To precisely …

Traditional hydrological theories are based on the assumption that soil is key in determining
water's fate in the hydrological cycle. According to these theories, soil hydraulic properties …

The root zone is a vital part of the Earth system and a key element in hydrology, ecology,
agronomy, and land surface processes. However, its definition varies across disciplines …

Mountains are the water towers of the world, so it is critical to obtain accurate precipitation
data for mountainous areas. Due to the complex topography of high mountainous areas …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is rich in groundwater storage, which maintain surface
runoff and water supply security during the dry season. Climate warming is driving …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a region rich in extensive frozen ground and the source
of many major Asian rivers. However, how soil freeze/thaw (F/T) dynamics influence runoff …

Climate change modifies the water and energy fluxes between the atmosphere and the
surface in mountainous regions such as the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), which has shown …

Accurately quantifying the impact of permafrost degradation and soil freeze–thaw cycles on
hydrological processes while minimizing the reliance on observational data are challenging …

Climate warming exacerbates the degradation of the mountain cryosphere, including glacier
retreat, permafrost degradation, and snow cover reduction. These changes dramatically alter …
