Abstract

The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is home to the world's highest-altitude and largest number of plateau lake groups. In recent decades, the lakes on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau have undergone significant changes in terms of water volume and other aspects such as salt content and nutrient content. In addition, the ecology of these lake areas has also changed significantly, including changes in microorganisms and plants The logic and mechanism behind these continuous changes are outlined in this article, especially the review of the lake system changes under the increase of lake water volume. In addition, the ecological risks of lakes on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and their countermeasures are proposed, and case analyses are conducted in combination with the two large lakes, Selin Co and Qinghai Lake.
