Effect of climate and thaw depth on alpine vegetation variations at different permafrost degrading stages in the Tibetan Plateau, China

Understanding the driving forces for alpine vegetation variations at different permafrost degrading stages is important when the Tibetan Plateau is experiencing climate warming. We applied the modified Frost Number model to simulate frozen ground distributions in the Tibetan Plateau and calculated t...
