Analysis of climate change pressures on ecological protection and restoration projects of territorial space in Qinghai Plateau
Climate change is one of the main pressures that the ecological protection and resto-ration in Qinghai Plateau continues to face,yet there is currently a lack of quantitative analysis of the climate change pressure on ecological restoration projects across this region.Focusing on this issue,this study clarified the climate change process across Qinghai Plateau since 1960,analyzed the driving effects of climate change on the changes in land cover,and quantified the projected future climate change pressures that Qinghai would face during the 21st century,based on multi-source data.We found that Qinghai Plateau has experienced significant warm-ing-wetting trends since 1960,with the change characterized by faster warming in the west than in the east and faster in winter than in summer.Affected by climate changes,the distribu-tion of grass-shrubs in the study area generally expanded from 1980 to 2020,while degraded in the northwest.Climate predictions indicate that Qinghai Plateau is likely to face profound pres-sures from continued warming trends across the 21st century,especially for the south.Our find-ings could serve as data and theoretical support for the formulation of relevant climate mitiga-tion and adaptation measures in the ecological protection and restoration projects of territorial space in the plateau.
