The ongoing phenological changes in vegetation on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau could
modify land surface and atmospheric processes. In this Review, we summarize these …

Alpine vegetation plays a crucial role in global carbon cycle. Snow cover is an essential
component of alpine land cover and shows high sensitivity to climate change. The Tibetan …

Global environmental research requires long-term climate data. Yet, meteorological
infrastructure is missing in the vast majority of the world's protected areas. Therefore …

Accurate snow cover data are critical for understanding the Earth's climate system, and
exploring hydrological processes and regional water resource management over High …

Vegetation phenology has a profound impact on soil and water conservation and
biogeochemical cycles, while its relationship with snow parameters has not been well …

Ongoing changes in snow cover significantly affect vegetation productivity, but the actual
effect of snow cover remains unclear due to a poor understanding of its lagged effect. Here …

Studying grassland phenology and its relationships to climate would deepen our
understanding of vegetation-air interactions under global climate change. To date, however …

Extensive and complex changes in spring vegetation phenology have occurred in the Pan‐
Arctic over the last several decades. However, the role of snow cover at the start of the …

The fragile alpine vegetation in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is very sensitive to environmental
changes, making TP one of the hotspots for studying the response of vegetation to climate …

Surface snow albedo (SSA) darkens immediately following a forest fire, while landscape
snow albedo (LSA) brightens as more of the snow-covered surface becomes visible under …
