Health of plateau soil environment: Corresponding relationship of heavy metals in different land use/cover types (LULCC)
The study of land use and land cover change (LULCC) in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau is an important part of regional land science and global change science research. Due to their sensitive response to climate change, plateau lakes undergo changes in their surrounding land use types and soil physicochemical properties, which in turn affect soil environmental health. In the context of global climate change, more scholars are focusing on the relationship between climate change and the transformation of land use types, while research on the response relationship between land use types and pollutant accumulation at the end of the entire system is scarce. This study systematically analyzed the bioavailability and migration dynamics of heavy metals in soils of different land use types in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau watershed, providing solid data support for ecological protection and high-quality development of the plateau watershed, and offering new research ideas for water environment security in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau under the background of climate change.
