The southern marginal fault of the Qaidam Basin (SMQBF) is a block-bounding border fault that has played a key role in the structural evolution of the Kunlun Fault. However, its geometric and dynamic deformation patterns since the Late Pleistocene have not been clearly observed. Field investigations, combined with high-resolution imagery and shallow seismic profiles, show that the SMQBF is a thrust fault with a sinistral strike-slip component composed of several secondary faults. Its Late Quaternary deformation pattern is characterized by piggyback thrust propagation, and the frontal fault may not be exposed to the surface. Due to the flexural slip of the hanging strata of the secondary fault, sub-parallel faults with widths of thousands of meters have formed on high terraces; these are important when assessing the seismic hazard of this area. Based on high-resolution topographic data obtained using an unmanned erial vehicle and optically stimulated luminescence chronology, the slip rates of several secondary faults were obtained. The vertical and strike-slip rates of the SMQBF were determined to be 0.96 ± 0.33 mm/a and 2.66 ± 0.50 mm/a, respectively, which may be the minimum rates for the fault. Considering that the SMQBF is composed of several secondary faults, these rates possibly correspond to minimum deformation only. The evident sinistral strike-slip of the SMQBF indicates that although the sinistral slip of the Kunlun Fault system is concentrated in main fault of this system, the branch faults have a significant influence on the lateral extrusion of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Difference

The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is one of the most ecologically vulnerable regions in the world. Several studies have been conducted on the dynamic changes of grassland in the HKH region, but few have considered grassland net ecosystem productivity (NEP). In this study, we quantitatively analyzed the temporal and spatial changes of NEP magnitude and the influence of climate factors on the HKH region from 2001 to 2018. The NEP magnitude was obtained by calculating the difference between the net primary production (NPP) estimated by the Carnegie–Ames Stanford Approach (CASA) model and the heterotrophic respiration (Rh) estimated by the geostatistical model. The results showed that the grassland ecosystem in the HKH region exhibited weak net carbon uptake with NEP values of 42.03 gC∙m−2∙yr−1, and the total net carbon sequestration was 0.077 Pg C. The distribution of NEP gradually increased from west to east, and in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, it gradually increased from northwest to southeast. The grassland carbon sources and sinks differed at different altitudes. The grassland was a carbon sink at 3000–5000 m, while grasslands below 3000 m and above 5000 m were carbon sources. Grassland NEP exhibited the strongest correlation with precipitation, and it had a lagging effect on precipitation. The correlation between NEP and the precipitation of the previous year was stronger than that of the current year. NEP was negatively correlated with temperature but not with solar radiation. The study of the temporal and spatial dynamics of NEP in the HKH region can provide a theoretical basis to help herders balance grazing and forage.
