Ecological Waves at Tourist Attractions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Promote Greenness of Surrounding Vegetation by Zitao Yang, Li Tian

“…In addition, applying the ripple effect model to urban attractions and city centers (Xining and Lhasa), the results indicated that among the five urban attractions in Xining, Kumbum Monastery, Qinghai Tibetan Culture Center, and Country Farming Ecological Park (with distance restrictions of 2–20 km) have significant positive ecological effects within the built-up area, while the ecological effects of Qinghai Province Museum and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Safari Park are not significant. The positive ecological effects of the five urban attractions in Lhasa within the built-up area are not significant, and different attractions have different distance thresholds for ecological effects. …”

Opposite Effects of Mineral Dust Nonsphericity and Size on Dust‐Induced Snow Albedo Reduction by Tenglong Shi, Cenlin He, Daizhou Zhang, Xuelei Zhang, Xiaoying Niu, Yuxuan Xing, Yang Chen, Jiecan Cui, Wei Pu, Xin Wang

“…Abstract We quantified the combined effects of mineral dust nonsphericity and size on snow albedo reduction using the MOPSMAP (Modeled optical properties of ensembles of aerosol particles) package and SAMDS (Spectral Albedo Model for Dirty Snow) with the consideration of dust from Sahara, Greenland, San Juan Mountains, and Tibetan Plateau. Results indicate that the dust‐induced albedo reduction decreases by up to 30% as the effective radii of dust particles increase in 1–5 μm. …”
