摘要
<正>The Tibetan Plateau (TP) encompasses Xizang and Qinghai and parts of northern Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, with a total area of circa 2.6 millions km2. The 2013 satellite data showed that grasslands, forests, wetlands, agricultural lands, and deserts account for 60%, 7.7%, 1.4%, 0.3%, and 30%, respectively, of total TP land [1]. Due to its existence in dry, high altitude and cold environments, the TP ecosystem is extremely vulnerable to global climate change and studies on the TP ecosystem can be utilized as a pre-warning for other ecosystems. As a key factor driving ecosystem dynamics, temperature in the past decades has been increasing at a faster rate in the TP than in the Northern hemisphere on
