However, systematic analyses of CDD trends and their driving mechanisms remain limited, particularly in high-altitude regions where climate variability is pronounced. This study investigated the spatiotemporal variability in CDD from 1982 to 2022 in alpine grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (TP) and quantified the contributions of key climatic factors. The results indicate that lower CDD values (<350 °C-days) were predominantly found in warm, arid regions, whereas higher CDD values (>600 °C-days) were concentrated in colder, wetter areas. Temporally, area-averaged CDD exhibited a significant decline, decreasing from 490.9 °C-days in 1982 to 495.8 °C-days in 2022 at a rate of 3.8 °C-days per year. Elevation plays a critical role in shaping CDD patterns, displaying a nonlinear relationship: CDD decrease as elevation increases up to 4300 m, beyond which they increase, suggesting a transition from global climate-driven warming at lower elevations to local environmental controls at higher elevations, where snow–albedo feedback, topographic effects, and atmospheric circulation patterns regulate temperature dynamics. Tmax was identified as the dominant climatic driver of CDD variation, particularly above 4300 m, while radiation showed a consistent positive influence across elevations. In contrast, precipitation had a limited and spatially inconsistent effect. These findings emphasize the complex interactions between elevation, temperature, radiation, and precipitation in regulating CDD trends. By providing a long-term perspective on CDD variations and their climatic drivers, this study enhances our understanding of vegetation–climate interactions in alpine ecosystems. The results offer a scientific basis for modeling late-season phenological changes, ecosystem resilience, and land-use planning under ongoing climate change.
