Quantifying ecosystem carbon fluxes and stocks is essential for better understanding the
global carbon cycle and improving projections of the carbon-climate feedbacks. Remote …

Under a warming climate, degrading permafrost profoundly and extensively affects arctic
and alpine ecology. However, most existing relevant studies are more focused on the …

The structure and function of alpine grassland ecosystems, including their extensive soil
carbon stocks, are largely shaped by temperature. The Tibetan Plateau in particular has …

The NDVI3g time series is an improved 8-km normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)
data set produced from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instruments …

Warming trends and increasing temperature extremes have been observed across most of
the Asian region over the past century (high confidence).{24.3} Increasing numbers of warm …

Global ecosystem function is highly dependent on climate and atmospheric composition, yet
ecosystem responses to environmental changes remain uncertain. Cold, high-latitude …

As the permafrost region warms, its large organic carbon pool will be increasingly
vulnerable to decomposition, combustion, and hydrologic export. Models predict that some …

Several recent climate impact assessments on polar regions have been undertaken,
including the synthesis report on Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (AMAP …

Numerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to higher elevations and higher
latitudes. Most treelines are temperature limited and warmer climate expands the area in …

Numerous international scientific assessments and related articles have, during the last
