(221205) -- LANZHOU, Dec. 5, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 13, 2021 shows the view of a restored grassland by the Yellow River in Maqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Gansu Province. This year's World Soil Day fell on Monday. Located on the northeast brink of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Maqu County boasts an extensive presence of grasslands and wetlands, which had suffered a lot from degeneration and desertification before the end of the 20th century. Thanks to a series of ecological preservation and soil improvement programs in recent years, a substantial part of the once damaged vegetation has been restored in the county. (Xinhua/Chen Bin)

Chinese scientists embarked on an expedition on July 20 to investigate the water resources and ecological environment in the headwater regions of the Yangtze and Lancang rivers. The expedition, comprising around 20 members, will carry out scientific investigations into river hydrology, water ecology, soil erosion, glaciers and permafrost in northwest China's Qinghai Province. Key research projects include estimating the carbon stock of wetlands, assessing the impacts of permafrost thawing on the plateau, and measuring the thickness of permafrost on glaciers.
