The recent and rapid recession of alpine glaciers over the last 150 years has major
implications for associated aquatic communities. Glacial meltwater shapes many of the …

Roughly 10% of the Earth's surface is permanently covered by glaciers and ice sheets and
in mountain ecosystems, this proportion of ice cover is often even higher. From an ecological …

Abstract Lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) have been subject to multiple
environmental pressures from rapid climate change and intensified human activity in recent …

Refractory black carbon (r BC) aerosol is an important climate forcer, and its impacts are
greatly influenced by the species associated with r BC cores. However, relevant knowledge …

Sediment cores from five lakes across the Tibetan Plateau were used as natural archives to
study the time trends of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The depositional flux of …

Despite significant climate change on the Tibetan Plateau, the historical succession trend
and underlying driving mechanism of aquatic ecosystem in alpine lake remain unclear. In …

Rapid population growth and economic development have led to increased anthropogenic
pressures on the T ibetan P lateau, causing significant land cover changes with potentially …

Modelling, monitoring, and experimental data have shown that global climate change can
impact aquatic phytoplankton communities directly, through the effects of warming on …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the largest alpine plateau on Earth and plays an
important role in global climate dynamics. On the TP, climate change is happening …

The high-altitude lake Tso Moriri (32° 55′ 46 ″N, 78° 19′ 24 ″E; 4522 m asl) is situated
at the margin of the Indian Summer Monsoon and westerly influences in the Trans …
