Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Temporal Variability of Precipitation and Biomass of Alpine Grasslands on the Northern Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2019
The timing regimes of precipitation can exert profound impacts on grassland ecosystems. However, it is still unclear how the peak aboveground biomass (AGBpeak) of alpine grasslands responds to the temporal variability of growing season precipitation (GSP)

Variety in evolutionary strategies favours biodiversity in habitats of moderate productivity [PDF]

, 2011
The mechanism whereby biodiversity varies between habitats differing in productivity is a missing link between ecological and evolutionary theory with vital implications for biodiversity conservation, management and the assessment of ecosystem services ...

Biomass allocation and productivity–richness relationship across four grassland types at the Qinghai Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB) allocation and productivity–richness relationship are controversial. Here, we assessed AGB and BGB allocation and the productivity–richness relationship at community level across four grassland ...
