A STUDY ON THE NEOTECTONIC DIVISION & ENVIRONMENT EVOLUTION OF QING-ZANG PLATEAU & THREE PARALLEL RIVERS AREA

Yunnan Geology (2007)

Ming Qing-zhong

The Qing-Zang plateau uplift which becomes an important part of High-Asia is a milestone of environment evolution in Cenozoic.In neotectonics,the uplift stage of Qing-Zang plateau can be divided into the nonplateau-peneplain stage and the plateau development stage(including low plateau stage,high plateau stage and the world roof stage).In the uplift stage of neotectonics,the three parallel rivers area which belongs to the SE part and SE margin of Qing-Zang plateau can be divided into the surface planation-peneplain stage and the embryonic plateau-ridge/basin/valley formation stage,the intense uplift-plateau formation stage and the plateau split-longitudinal ridge/valley development stage.The environment effect of tectonic movement in each neotectonic stage is different from one another.The distinct natural geographical environment is formed in the long evolution of geological history.

Highland Gradient Effect Study:A Systematic and Basic Study on the Optimizing of the Relations between Highland and Mankind

Journal of Yunnan Normal University (2008)

Ming Qing-zhong

Highland plays an important geographical role in the topography of the earth and in the development of human society and economy because it is a key element of the natural environment and resources,and reveals the integrated relations between man and his geographical surroundings.The differences in altitude lead to the different human activities at different geographical levels and both exert impacts on each other,which results in the vertical distribution in its geographical relations between man and highland as well as the highland gradient effect.Thus,this study is an integrated and basic study on the optimizing of the relations between man and highland,which will help improve the capacity of the highland eco-system and human living conditions while maintaining a scientific exploitation of resources and a sustainable development.

Lake Sediment Records on Climate Change and Human Activities in the Xingyun Lake Catchment, SW China

PLoS ONE (2014)

Wenxiang Zhang Ming Qing-zhong Zhengtao Shi Guangjie Chen Jie Niu

Sediments from Xinyun Lake in central Yunnan, southwest China, provide a record of environmental history since the Holocene. With the application of multi-proxy indicators (total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), δ13C and δ15N isotopes, C/N ratio, grain size, magnetic susceptibility (MS) and CaCO3 content), as well as accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C datings, four major climatic stages during the Holocene have been identified in Xingyun′s catchment. A marked increase in lacustrine palaeoproductivity occurred from 11.06 to 9.98 cal. ka BP, which likely resulted from an enhanced Asian southwest monsoon and warm-humid climate. Between 9.98 and 5.93 cal. ka BP, a gradually increased lake level might have reached the optimum water depth, causing a marked decline in coverage by aquatic plants and lake productivity of the lake. This was caused by strong Asian southwest monsoon, and coincided with the global Holocene Optimum. During the period of 5.60–1.35 cal. ka BP, it resulted in a warm and dry climate at this stage, which is comparable to the aridification of India during the mid- and late Holocene. The intensifying human activity and land-use in the lake catchment since the early Tang Dynasty (∼1.35 cal. ka BP) were associated with the ancient Dian culture within Xingyun's catchment. The extensive deforestation and development of agriculture in the lake catchment caused heavy soil loss. Our study clearly shows that long-term human activities and land-use change have strongly impacted the evolution of the lake environment and therefore modulated the sediment records of the regional climate in central Yunnan for more than one thousand years.

The Evolution of the Landform and Environment in the Region of the Three Parallel Rivers

Tropical Geography (2006)

Ming Qing-zhong Shi Zheng-tao

The evolution of the geographical environment in the region of the three parallel rivers(the Yangtze River,the Lancangjiang River and the Nujiang River) in northwest Yunnan is not only influenced by the rising of the Tibet Plateau,but also by its own characters.The factors,such as the high mountain-deep valley landform,the formation of the river system,etc.also affect the ecological environment of the region and its adjacent areas.The region of the three parallel rivers has experienced a development of several periods,which are the stage of the planation-peneplain during Paleocene-Miocene,the stage of the formation and development of mountain-basin-valley during the late Miocene(the development period of plateau) and the stage of modern river system-mountain-valley of gorges and vertical climate formation since late Pleistocene.The high mountain ranges and deep gorges have had separation effects on the passages of ecological environment,that makes the region from its unique characteristics.

Climate Change and Drought Events in the Geochemical Records of the Lacustrine Deposits in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

PLoS ONE (2016)

Wenxiang Zhang Ming Qing-zhong Zhengtao Shi Jie Niu Huai Su

Lacustrine deposits at the margin of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) are sensitive indicators for the evolution of the southwest Asian monsoon (SWAM) during the Quaternary. Thus, they can provide insight into the Quaternary climatic history and their relationship with global climatic changes. The results of the geochemical analysis of the Xiaozhongdian Basin section at the SETP suggest that SiO2 had the highest content of the major elements followed by Al2O3. The order of the abundance of the major elements was generally as follows: SiO2>Al2O3>Fe2O3>CaO>MgO>K2O>TiO2>Na2O>MnO2. The geochemical proxies, such as chemical index of alteration (CIA), the index of compositional variability (ICV) and (CaO+K2O+Na2O)/Al2O3, indicate the weak chemical weathering and the aridification of the margin of the SETP during the Heinrich events. In addition, the aridification of the SETP during the Heinrich events may be closely related to the cold signals transmitted from the high latitudes of the North Atlantic to the TP, and the effect caused the cooling effect to be very strong on the TP as a result of the upper-level westerly jet stream and then reduced the suction action associated with the SWAM, thus accelerating the drying rate of Xiaozhongdian Basin, which was amplifying the degree of drought in Heinrich events.

TYPES OF PROBLEMS OF ECOTOURIST ENVIRONMENT AND ITS PROTECTING COUNTER-MEASURES

Economic Geography (2000)

Ming Qing-zhong

Ecotourism develops vigorously and promotes protection of environment greatly.But is will give rise to environmental porblems.By impact degree to environment,they can be classified into ecotourism environment destruction,degeneration(decay) and discoordinationm(maladjustment). To achieve the objective of tourism sustainable development and to promote ecotourism to move in fine cycles,we should:1)amply recognize the rule of tourism development and environment protection,then put it to use,2)conscientiosly make the plan and policy of ecotourim development and be engaged in environment impact assessment,audit,and ecological management as well,3)give ecological education and management to ecotourist,4)construct the system of ecotourism product,etc.

Coordination or Conflict? The Synergistic Effect and Driving Mechanism of Green Technology Innovation and Tourism Green Development

Sustainability (2025)

Xiangyang Guo Xueqing Mu Ming Qing-zhong

Exploring the dynamic synergistic effect and driving mechanism of green technology innovation (GTI) and tourism green development (TGD) is of great significance for reducing the environmental footprint of tourism, enhancing the capacity of sustainable development, and promoting the practical application of green technology and industrial upgrading. This study takes 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China as research objects, and the time span of the study is from 2007 to 2023. The dynamic synergistic effects and driving mechanisms of GTI and tourism green development (TGD) are revealed by comprehensively adopting the coupled coordination model and panel quantile regression model. The results of this study show that (1) the average value of the coupling coordination degree (CCD) shows a small upward trend, with regional differences for Shanghai > Zhejiang > Jiangsu > Anhui. (2) High coupling coordination degree (CCD) areas are spatially concentrated in provincial capital cities, with prominent spatiotemporal heterogeneity characteristics and spatial correlation. (3) Industrial structure, human capital, and tourism resource endowment have a significant contribution to the coupling coordination degree, while informationization level and transport facilities show heterogeneous influence effects in different sub-location contexts. The level of openness and environmental regulation did not show the ‘pollution shelter’ effect, confirming ‘Porter’s hypothesis’ to some extent. (4) This study not only provides new evidence for the synergistic effect of green technological innovation and the green development of tourism, but it also provides an important reference for green technological innovation to empower the high-quality development of tourism.

A STUDY ON REGIONAL CHANGE OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF CHINA INFLUENCED BY SOUTHWEST MONSOON

Yunnan dili huanjing yanjiu (2007)

Ming Qing-zhong

As an important part of Asian monsoon,southwest monsoon has much influence on natural environment of China.Since southwest monsoon developed,the height of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was too low to prevent it.Moreover,the thickness of southwest monsoon keeps becoming thicker and stronger along with the mountain area,especially the rise of Hengduan Mountain.Meanwhile,The cyclone feature of south branch of the westerly play a leading role in the development of southwest monsoon.Southwest monsoon is more active and wider than southeast monsoon;it can influence the most areas in the west of Mt.Taihang.During Middle-Pleistocene,the height of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau uplift to 3 000 m high.At the same time,Quaternary maximum glaciations and hypsithermal appeared.The effect of dynamic and thermodynamic of plateau strengthened further and the southwest monsoon became thicker.Southwest monsoon plays an important role in natural environment of China.Since Late Pleistocene,the average altitude of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau has rise to 4 500～5 000 m nowadays and uplift of Himalaya Mountain is able to prevent southwest monsoon from advancing into Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and continental district.The area controlled by southwest monsoon has shrunk to the southwest of Yangtze River upper reach and southeast of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
