Abstract:

Place descriptions record qualitative information related to places and their spatial relationships; thus, the geospatial semantics of a place can be extracted from place descriptions. In this study, geotagged microblog short texts recorded in 2017 from the Tibetan Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province were used to extract the place semantics of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). ERNIE, a language representation model enhanced by knowledge, was employed to extract thematic topics from the microblog short texts, which were then geolocated and used to analyze the place semantics of the QTP.

Abstract:

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is known as the roof of the world. Climatic conditions and living environments in the QTP are extreme. Yet, its environment is vital for species conservation, freshwater resources and local livelihood. In recent years, the Tibetan Plateau’s ecological environment has been degraded by climate change and human activities. Traditional Tibetan culture offers a new perspective on this issue of environmental degradation. Tibetan people, motivated by religion and custom, are kind to living beings as well as mountains and lakes. The sacred sites are therefore relatively

Abstract:

The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is one of the most vulnerable ecosystems worldwide. Over the last few decades, the QTP has been subjected to increasing external pressures, such as climate change, human activity, and natural hazards. Therefore, ecological risk assessment is vital for the environmental protection and sustainable development of the QTP. A landscape ecological risk (LER) assessment based on landscape disturbance and vulnerability was performed to explore the spatiotemporal characteristics associated with LER in the QTP from 1990 to 2020. Furthermore, the impact of LER was quanti

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the highest and largest mountain plateau in the world, which has become a focus area of amphibian biodiversity research and conservation, depending on its large number of endemic and threatened species.

Revealing the genetic diversity of these species is crucial for research on their environmental adaptability and biodiversity conservation.

The QTP ranges from lat. 25.59°N to 39.49°N and from long. 73.29°E to 104.40°E, whereas the Yunnan Plateau ranges from lat. 20.00°N to 29.16°N and from long. 96.00°E to 110.19°E. A comparison between the turnip landraces of two different plateau environments can provide a mechanistic insight into plant adaptation in highlands. The aim of this investigation was to understand the patterns in variation in genome size

Abstract:

The accurate identification of precipitation types is very important for understanding the hydrological processes in cold regions. Existing identification methods have been established based on daily precipitation and meteorological data, which cannot match the high temporal resolution (such as hourly) simulations of hydrological processes. Based on the minutely surface meteorological data in the QTP from 2012 to 2021, we established three sub-models of the dynamic threshold method with wet-bulb temperature (Tw) and three sub-models of the frequency threshold method with air temperature (Ta) f
