Tianshan Mountain is one of the seven mountain systems in the world. It is located in the hinterland of Eurasia, the largest land on the earth. Tianshan Mountain stretches 1700 kilometers from west to East in Xinjiang, China, covering an area of more than 570000 square kilometers. Scholars usually divide the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang into three parts: West Tianshan, Middle Tianshan and East Tianshan. The West Tianshan Mountain is represented by the West Tianshan Mountain National Nature Reserve, a world natural heritage site located in kurdning, Gongliu county. It has the richest wildlife resources in Tianshan Mountain and is a key area of Tianshan Mountain Biodiversity.

Based on the distribution locations of the Qinghai toad-headed lizard (Phrynocephalus vlangalii) collected by field investigation and literature investigation, combined with five climate factors from WorldClim database, the current (1960-1990) and future (2061-2080) climate data were input into the trained species distribution model to predict the current and future suitable habitats. The prediction results shows that the lizard will lose a lot of original habitats under the climate change, and the protection measures for the lizard species should focus on the eastern margin of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the northern and eastern parts of Qaidam Basin. The model also predicts that after the climate change, new suitable habitats will appear in areas that were not suitable for the Qinghai toad-headed lizard. However, due to the very limited diffusion ability of reptiles (the maximum annual diffusion distance recorded in the literature is less than 500m), the newly emerging suitable habitats may not be used by the Qinghai toad-headed lizard. Meanwhile, based on the physiological, life history, behavior and morphological data of three altitudinal populations of the Qinghai toad-headed lizard collected by field work, and combined with microclimate data, the physiological consequences of climate change on the Qinghai toad-headed lizard in the current suitable distribution area were predicted by using the mechanism niche model. The prediction results of the model show that, whether in the SSP245 or SSP585 climate change scenarios, the activity time of the lizard will increase in most areas (> 93%) of the current suitable distribution area, and the thermal safety threshold will decrease in all places of the current suitable distribution area. The increase of activity time of high-altitude populations is less than that of low-altitude populations, but the decrease of thermal safety threshold is greater than that of low-altitude populations. The results reveal that climate change may have a greater impact on lizard populations in high altitude areas.

Investigate the middle and upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the tributaries of the Nianchu River, duoxiong Zangbo and Laiwu Zangbo, involving Nanmulin, gyangzi, Yadong, Jilong, Saga, Zhongba and other counties in Xigaze City, Tibet. New human activity relic sites were found in the blank areas of human activities in the past, such as cuochulong lake, Duoqing lake, Zhongzhu Valley, luolonggou and so on. Important stone evidence of human activities was collected in more than 30 sites, including obsidian, Jasper rock, crystal and so on. In the follow-up, the process and source of these stone tools will be further analyzed through typology, which is of great significance to reveal the temporal and spatial changes of prehistoric human activity history in the middle and upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the exchange of culture and technology with the surrounding areas.
