As the largest terrestrial carbon pool, the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of soil organic carbon have important implications for global carbon cycle processes. Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) and influencing factors were predicted in the Yellow River basin using a mixed geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model based on soil organic carbon density data and environmental factors. The results showed that:① the SOCD ranged from 0-14.

There are two main reasons for this: (1) climate change has altered the temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation, and climate warming intensified the mutual transformation of water bodies. The temperature in China increased by 0.

The results showed that, The relation between recharge and discharge was the major ways for ionic transformation of each water body. Precipitation and glacier and snow meltwater are the main input sources for ionic transformation, and river water is the final output source.

Precipitation isotope characteristics, influence factors and the vapor sources of precipitation were analyzed, and the results show that:① The stable isotopes of precipitation in the study area show obvious seasonal changes, which are characterized by enrichment in the summer half-year and depletion in the winter half-year. The spatial precipitation O value shows a significant downward trend with increasing altitude, and the altitude effect of the annual precipitation O is -0.

The study investigates the hydrochemical type and characteristics of river water in permafrost regions in the Tibetan Plateau by analyzing 532 samples collected from the source region of the Yangtze River. The hydrochemical type of the river water was Cl-Na-SO, and its hydrochemical characteristics were primarily influenced by the soil sources, though the influence of the sea sources and anthropogenic factors could not be ignored. Significant negative correlations were found between temperature and NO, SO, Mg, Ca, and between precipitation, relative humidity, and SO and Mg in the river water.

The study is conducted through collected 330 samples from June to September in 2016 and 2017 in the Source Region of the Yangtze River (SRYR). The results showed the pattern of ionic dominance based on mean value was following as: Cl > Na > SO > Ca > Mg > K > NO > NO > NH > F > Li.

The secondary evaporative effect of existence was evaluated and then quantitatively discussed, with the sensitive factors of secondary evaporative effect being considered. The results showed that during the summer monsoon, the δO and d values decreased from south to north in Xinjiang, while the δO value increased but d values decreased from south to north and from east to west of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region.

Precipitation of the northwest China is different from that in other regions of China. The vapor reaches this region after long distance transportation with little precipitation, and the ratio of precipitation variation is large. Wushaoling at the east Qilian Mountains is an important divided line of climate in China.
