The high cold desert zone, located on the northwestern region, is the highest part of the Tibetan Plateau. This region with extremely cold and arid climate belongs to plateau subcold zone, which is characterized with high mountains and plateau landforms tranversed by lake basins, widespread permafrost and periglacial process, young natural process with shallow cold desert soil, and landscape of high-cold desert with interfused composition of biota. Due to the vulnerable eco-environment, construction and administration of natural conservation should be strengthened in this region. The cold-arid core, existed in the hinterland of high cold desert zone, is a unique geo-eco feature in the plateau and alpine region on the Earth.
