A Study of Carbon Stock Changes in the Alpine Grassland Ecosystem of Zoigê, China, 2000–2020
Land, 2022 Terrestrial carbon sequestration capacity is an important indicator of ecosystem service function, and the carbon storage value can reflect the climate regulation capacity of the regional ecological environment.

The consequences of elevated CO² and land use in alpine ecosystems [PDF]
, 2014 The consequences of elevated CO2 and land use in alpine ecosystems This PhD thesis addresses two main aspects of Global Change and their impacts on alpine vegetation and eco-hydrology, (1) the steadily increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere

Alpine grassland soils contain large proportion of labile carbon but indicate long turnover times [PDF]
, 2011 Alpine soils are expected to contain large amounts of labile carbon (C) which may become a further source of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) as a result of global warming.

Effects of grassland management on plants and invertebrates in Transylvania, Romania : a threat to local biodiversity hotspots [PDF]
, 2007 Nutrient-poor grasslands are considered regional biodiversity hotspots and therefore of high conservation value (Blab & Kudrna 1982; Bignal & McCracken 1996; Sánchez-Zapata et al. 2003).

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

Characteristics of soil microbial phospholipid fatty acids in artificial, black-soil mountain degraded, and natural grasslands in the source region of the Three Rivers [PDF]
PeerJBackground The source region of the Three Rivers is a concentrated distribution area of alpine grassland. Due to intensified human interference and unsustainable land use, the vegetation and soil in these grasslands have undergone severe degradation ...

Response of forage nutrient storages to grazing in alpine grasslands
Frontiers 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.
