Mismatch in elevational shifts between satellite observed vegetation greenness and temperature isolines during 2000–2016 on the Tibetan Plateau
Climate warming on the Tibetan Plateau tends to induce an uphill shift of temperature
isolines. Observations and process‐based models have both shown that climate warming …

A tree-ring–based summer (June–July) minimum temperature reconstruction for the western Kunlun Mountains since AD 1681
Abstract Knowledge of past climatic variability for the Tibetan Plateau (TP), especially the
northwestern part of it, is still limited due to the lack of long-term meteorological records …

The coupling of treeline elevation and temperature is mediated by non-thermal factors on the Tibetan Plateau
Little is known about the relationships between treeline elevation and climate at regional
and local scales. It is compelling to fill this research gap with data from the Tibetan Plateau …
