Summary: A new species of Halomonas, named Halomonas jincaotanensis sp. nov., was isolated from the Jincaotan wetland in the Pamir Plateau of China. The bacterium, designated strain TRM 85114(T), is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium that grows optimally at 30 degrees C and pH 6.0 in the presence of 3% (w/v) NaCl. The strain showed high sequence similarity with Halomonas korlensis XK1(T) (97.3%) and Halomonas tibetensis pyc13(T) (96.4%).

Summary: This study investigates the thermal responses of a freshwater lake and a nearby saline lake in the Tibetan Plateau to climate change. The results suggest that salinity and lake depth significantly influence lake water temperature and lake surface water temperature. This study deepens our understanding of the responses of lakes in the Tibetan Plateau to climate change, particularly the differences between freshwater and saline lakes.

Summary: A moderately halophilic bacterium, designated C176(T), was isolated from Yuncheng Salt Lake in China. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain C176(T) is closely related to Spiribacter salinus LMG 27464(T). The major fatty acids of strain C176(T) are Summed feature 8 and C-16:0, and the predominant ubiquinone is Q-8. Assessment of polyphasic taxonomy confirms strain C176(T) as a novel species of the genus Spiribacter, named Spiribacter salilacus sp. nov.

Summary: This study constructed the first dataset of lake-catchment characteristics for 1525 lakes on the Tibetan Plateau, providing fundamental information for analyzing the impact of catchment-level characteristics on lake properties. The dataset includes six categories and a total of 721 attributes, and it can be used to deepen our understanding of the drivers of lake environment change and predict water and sediment properties in unsampled lakes.

Summary: Mounting evidence suggests that climate warming is significantly impacting lakes in the Tibetan Plateau. This study uses statistical models and simulations to demonstrate the future decrease in lake ice duration and increase in lake expansion due to warming. Additionally, the study finds that lake expansion is insensitive to glacier mass loss.

Summary: The study found ongoing drainage system reorganization in the endorheic Tibetan Plateau, primarily due to drastic lake expansion. Between 2000 and 2018, 11 drainage system reorganization events occurred, with another 20 basins projected to be reorganized before 2030. These reorganizations not only alter hydrological processes but can also lead to endorheic-exorheic transition, affecting China's key infrastructure.

Summary: A new strain of bacteria, LAM9210, was isolated from a saline soil sample collected from Lingxian County, Shandong Province, PR China. It belongs to the genus Sporosarcina and represents a new species named Sporosarcina jiandibaonis sp. nov. The strain showed certain characteristics such as growth at a wide temperature and pH range and containing specific amino acids in the cell-wall peptidoglycan.

Summary: This study aims to simulate the lake ice conditions in Nam Co lake using a physics-based one-dimensional lake ice model. The air density schemes within the model were modified to improve the accuracy of the simulation. The process of lake ice sublimation and the effect of lake water salinity on the freezing point were also included. The results show that the improved model better reproduces the lake surface water temperature, lake ice thickness, and lake ice phenology at Nam Co.
