Abstract:
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not only an important ecological security barrier for China, but also plays an extremely important role in the global physical-geographic environment. However, the observation data of natural resource elements are relatively scarce due to the harsh natural environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is an urgent and necessary task to establish an integrated observation network of natural resource elements on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, establish a long-term and stable professional integrated observation team, and carry out the systematic and continuous multi-scale observation of total factors. The authors in this paper have introduced the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau natural resources integratea observation implementation progress and the related achievements from the aspects of station network layout ideas, observation index system, key observation content and station network construction. Besides, five aspects have been forecasted, including the perfection of observation factors and methods, the scientific deployment of observation system construction work, the organization of long-term and stable observation team, the innovation of fusion mechanism and the strengthening of major research projects. The research above could provide some advice and reference in building the integrated observation system for the natural resources in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
