- W2337334028 abstract "The Gaoligong Shan mountains (Gaoligong Shan) comprise the western-most part of the Hengduan Mountain Range. They include all of the contiguous ridges west of the Nujiang River and east of the Irrawadi-Nmai Rivers and lie at the junction of the Indo-Malaya and Palearctic zoogeographic realms. The Gaoligong Shan are one of the world’s most significant biodiversity hotspots outside of the tropics. The Hengduan Mountains, of which the Gaoligong Shan are a part, are a result of the collision of the South China Block and Eurasian Plate during the late Mesozoic. During the Cenozoic, the Gaoligong Shan have also been affected by the continuing movements of the Indo-Australasian Plate and Eurasian Plates to the west of the Hengduan Mountains. The Gaoligong Shan are characterized by a number of unusual features. Their high, contiguous ridges extend further south than do most of those of the other Hengduan Mountains. Also, their river valleys are unusually narrow and deep because they are incised into hard rock that maintains steep slope profiles. Continuing uplift, steep gradients, and swiftly flowing rivers have eroded deep gorges. The north-south orientation of the river valleys causes the Gaoligong Shan to have an unusual face aspect relative to the sun; nearly all slopes face either east or west. The deep valleys and north-south orientation of the ridges result in the region having a more moderate climate than surrounding non-mountainous areas situated at the same latitude. Because of their antiquity, the Gaoligong Shan have accumulated a high level of biodiversity. At the same time, their high elevations and deep gorges have acted as barriers to migration for most terrestrial organisms. Moreover, because of their unusual climate and many protected environments, the Gaoligong Shan provide a refugium from global climate perturbations. It is significant that the difficult terrain has, until recently, deterred extensive human habitation, thus preserving the region’s biodiversity." @default.
