a–g Sampling location of the six sites shown on the map of permafrost distribution on the Tibetan Plateau64 (a) and individual features of thermokarst-impacted sites such as FEB (b), SEB (c), ML (d), SLH (e), HSX (f), and HH (g) (photo credit for panels b–g: F.T. Liu). Notably, the sites involved in this study were mainly distributed across the eastern plateau since upland thermokarst primarily occurred in this area. FEB, the first site at Ebo; SEB, the second site located at Ebo; ML, SLH, HSX, and HH indicate the sites at Mole, Shaliuhe, Huashixia, and Huanghe, respectively.
