Changes in Temperature Sensitivity and Activation Energy of Soil Organic Matter Decomposition in Different Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Grasslands.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau grasslands are unique geographical regions and store substantial soil organic matter (SOM) in the soil surface, which make them very sensitive to global climate change.

Explicit snow-vegetation coupling for alpine grasslands modelling

, 2023
Snow, soil and vegetation have complex physical interactions in alpine grasslands. Vegetation growth is sensitive to snow cover duration and soil climate. Reciprocally, vegetation insulating properties affect the soil temperature and the heat fluxes between soil and snow.

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]

, 2017
Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

Beyond grassland degradation: Pathways to resilience for pastoralist households in alpine grassland ecosystems

Journal of Environmental Management
Sustaining the development of rural and pastoral communities' hinges on livelihood resilience. Pastoralist household resilience relies on resource availability and decision-making abilities. Despite extensive studies on pastoralist livelihoods, a significant knowledge gap remains in understanding the nuanced adaptive capacities of diverse households ...
