Evaluating the dynamics of grassland net primary productivity in response to climate change in China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Net primary productivity (NPP) has been considered as a direct indicator to access the terrestrial primary production. However, considerable uncertainties remain toward the response mechanism of NPP to climate change across annual and seasonal scales ...

A Meta-Analysis on Degraded Alpine Grassland Mediated by Climate Factors: Enlightenment for Ecological Restoration

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Alpine grassland is the main ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Degradation and restoration of alpine grassland are related to ecosystem function and production, livelihood, and wellbeing of local people.

Vegetation traits of pre-Alpine grasslands in southern Germany [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Data, 2020
AbstractThe data set contains information on aboveground vegetation traits of > 100 georeferenced locations within ten temperate pre-Alpine grassland plots in southern Germany. The grasslands were sampled in April 2018 for the following traits: bulk canopy height; weight of fresh and dry biomass; dry weight percentage of the plant functional types ...

Fertilization can accelerate the pace of soil microbial community response to rest‐grazing duration in the three‐river source region of China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Overgrazing leads to grassland degradation and productivity decline. Rest‐grazing during the regreen‐up period can quickly restore grassland and fertilization is a common restoration strategy.

Response of forage nutrient storages to grazing in alpine grasslands

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Forage nutrient storages can determine livestock size and husbandry development. There is insufficient research on the response of forage nutrient storages to grazing and related driving mechanisms in alpine grasslands, especially on the Tibetan Plateau.
