Qinghai-Tibet Plateau study reveals timeline and uneven evolution of endemic flora

A team of researchers led by Prof. Wang Wei from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS) has revealed how unique native plant life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) has evolved over time, shedding new light on the origins and development of one of the world's most biologically diverse temperate regions. The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
