Abrupt permafrost thaw overwhelms vegetation-driven erosion reduction in sediment export on the Tibetan Plateau

Vegetation greening and abrupt permafrost thaw are reshaping sediment dynamics across the Tibetan Plateau, yet their relative effects on sediment delivery remain poorly quantified. Here we show that retrogressive thaw slumps are disproportionately important sediment sources, with erosion rates two to three orders of ma...
