Assessment of the vulnerability of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Assessing ecosystem vulnerability to climate change is critical for sustainable and adaptive ecosystem management. Alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are considered to be vulnerable to climate change, yet the ecosystem tends to maintain ...

The volatile organic compounds and palatability of mixed ensilage of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) crop residues

Scientific Reports, 2023
With increasing acreage of cash crops, the use of their by-products as supplements for livestock feed becomes an important factor. Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) account for more than half of the world’s loose flower production.

Responses of Soil Microbial Metabolic Activity and Community Structure to Different Degraded and Restored Grassland Gradients of the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Climate change and land-use disturbances are supposed to have severely affected the degraded alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. Artificial grassland establishment has been implemented as a restoration tool against grassland degradation.
