Chinese researchers create ecosystem classification system for Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, identifying 3,000 new species and designating 600,000 sq km for ecological conservation.

Chinese researchers have developed an ecosystem classification system for the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, integrating remote sensing and ground surveys. Resulting maps show spatial patterns, dynamic changes, and help assess ecosystem quality and its services. The project has identified over 3,000 new species and local government has designated 600,000 sq km for ecological conservation.
