Quantitative determination of environmental factors governing the snow melting: a geodetector case study in the central Tienshan Mountains
Abstract Because of the distinctive vertical climate and topography gradients in the alpine region, the snow cover of the Tienshan Mountains possesses complex spatiotemporal heterogeneity, particularly during the melting process. Quantifying the environmental factors is therefore crucial to understa...
