Rapid atmospheric warming since the mid-twentieth century has increased temperature-
dependent erosion and sediment-transport processes in cold environments, affecting food …

Warming amplification over the Arctic Pole (AP hereafter) and Third Pole (Tibetan Plateau,
TP hereafter) can trigger a series of climate responses and have global consequences …

Permafrost regions at high latitudes and altitudes store about half of the Earth's soil organic
carbon (SOC). These areas are also some of the most intensely affected by anthropogenic …

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

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) have become a dominant geomorphic event in
permafrost regions due to the modern climate change. However, the roles of topographic …

The information on the projected climate changes over China is of great importance for
preparing the nation's societal adaptiveness to the future natural ecosystem. This study …

Abstract Permafrost on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has undergone degradation as a
result of recent climate change. This may alter the thermo‐hydrological processes and …

Permafrost has great influences on the climatic, hydrological, and ecological systems on the
Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). The changing permafrost and its impact have been attracting …

Permafrost degradation poses serious threats to both natural and human systems through its
influence on ecological–hydrological processes, infrastructure stability, and the climate …

Abstract Permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) undergoes significant thawing and
degradation, which affects the hydrological processes, ecosystems and infrastructure …
