Freeze–thaw processes influence shallow groundwater recharge sources and pathways in the Qinghai Lake Basin: insights from water isotopes

Groundwater plays a crucial role in maintaining baseflow in rivers and ensuring water supply, particularly in alpine regions where the freeze–thaw (FT) cycle exerts a strong influence on hydrological processes. However, a systematic understanding is still lacking regarding how FT processes affect the composition of gro...
