“…G. Jiang et al, 2015). The study area of this paper is in the middle and upper reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, with its geographical location of 27 °48′-31 °18′ N and 85 °18′-112 °24′ E, covering an area about 216,000 km 2 , and its elevation ranges from 3,543 to 7,068 m, 4,878.5 m on average (Bao, 2019;Bao et al, 2023;Lyu et al, 2023). The Indian Ocean monsoon is weakened in the region by the resistance of the Himalaya Mountains, so while the study area is located in a plateau region with intense radiation and long sunshine, the total accumulated heat is low, making the average temperature in the hottest month ranging from 11.2 °C to 17.0 °C, and the temperature of the coldest month below 0 °C (Guo et al, 2023;Hu et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2021).…”
