We evaluate the nature and extent of human impact on vegetation dynamics by the comparison of two areas: the relative highly populated Lhasa area and a nearby less populated Lhari County. Our results indicate that human impact has mainly decreased vegetation greenness within 20 km of the urban area and major constructions during 1999–2013. However, the impact of human activities in a relatively large area is still minor and does not reverse the major trends of vegetation dynamics caused by the warming temperature in recent decades. It seems that the impact of anthropogenic factors on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) trend is more apparent in the Lhasa area than in Lhari County. The major anthropogenic driving factor for vegetation browning in the Lhasa area is livestock number, while the factors, including the number of rural laborers and artificial forest areas, are positively correlated with the annual NDVI increase.

Understanding local vegetation changes is crucial for projecting ecosystem dynamics. In this paper, we make a case for Himalayan mountain areas to explore vegetation dynamics and their influencing factors. Firstly, the interannual trends of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were extracted by the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) algorithm and linear regression method. Moreover, the influence of environmental factors on interannual NDVI trends was assessed using the Random Forests algorithm and partial dependence plots. Subsequently, the time-lag effects of seasonal NDVI on different climatic factors were discussed and the effects of these factors on seasonal NDVI changes were determined by partial correlation analysis.

  • The Alps of Tibet a Journey Through the Nyenchentangla East
    Exploration TAMOTSU NAKAMURA The Alps of Tibet A Journey through the Nyenchentangla East (Plates 29-43) ore liberal attitudes to foreign visitors have transformed Tibet. Foreign M climbers have been able to visit the greater ranges in Tibet since 1980 and yet, in the east and south-east, there still exist areas of obscure and little-known mountains. One of these is Nyenchentangla East, the last unexplored region in China. In October 2001, accompanied by fellow veterans TNagai and M Kasugai and the Chinese Shaohong Zhang, I made a reconnaissance trip to the region. Our trek took us to the valley north of Basong Lake, from where we traced Frank Kingdon-Ward's footsteps of 1924 across a high pass down to Lhari. Writing about the area, Kingdon-Ward noted: 'The Pasum lake occupies a long narrow ice-worn valley between steep mountains. Toward the head are several snow-peaks, the most conspicuous of which is Namla Karpo.' I Arriving at a rest-house on the south bank of Basong Lake we eagerly asked where to find Namla Karpo. On the following day, we put the same question to the villagers of Je, the starting point for our caravan northwards. No one was able to tell us, giving us instead the name of Jieqinnalagabu. A New Zealand party reported in the New Zealand Alpine Club Journal that they had attempted Namla Karpo. But we presume that their Namla Karpo was in fact Jieqinnalagabu (6316m), which is the peak referred to in Immortal Mountains in the Snow Region. 2 The mountains surrounding Basong Lake are in the Kongpo region of Tibet.
