Observed permafrost thawing and disappearance near the altitudinal limit of permafrost in the Qilian Mountains
Permafrost degradation has been widely reported on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, directly observed evidence of permafrost thawing processes and degradation rates are very limited, although it is expected to be prevalent near the periphery of a permafrost area. Here, we report permafrost changes...
