Table_1_A Meta-Analysis on Degraded Alpine Grassland Mediated by Climate Factors: Enlightenment for Ecological Restoration.XLSX

, 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.

Species‐Specific Shrub Encroachment Drives Divergent Soil Fungal Assembly Processes and Network Structures in Alpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shrub encroachment is rapidly transforming alpine meadow ecosystems worldwide, yet its consequences for belowground microbial organization remain insufficiently understood, particularly when different shrub species exert contrasting ecological effects.

Asymmetric Response of Soil Heterotrophic Respiration and Its Temperature Sensitivity in a Desert Steppe Under Climate Change

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and its temperature sensitivity (Q10) are important variables reflecting the intensity of feedback between the grassland carbon cycle and climate change. However, the factors regulating Rh and Q10 in desert grasslands under climate change remain unclear, and the asymmetric response of Rh during warming and ...

Interconnected Microbial Communities in Alpine Grassland Ecosystems

Soils in cold and high-elevation environments are complex ecosystems composed of multiple, co-occurring biological entities that each harbor distinct microbial communities. Traditional perspectives often examine soil microbial diversity as separate from the microbial communities of the organisms that inhabit it. Here, we seek to challenge such view and

New insights into the relationships between livestock grazing behaviors and soil organic carbon stock in an alpine grassland

, 2023
Grazing affects soil carbon (C) storage in grassland ecosystems through livestock trampling, defoliation, and excretion of urine and dung. However, independent effects of those grazing behaviors on soil organic C (SOC) remains unclear, particularly in ...

Trait convergence under warming: drought tolerance, not thermal limits, mediates native–invader dynamics in alpine ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate warming and plant invasions jointly alter alpine ecosystems, but the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear. A key to predicting ecosystem vulnerability is whether native and invasive species can sustain performance as conditions warm.

Root Characteristics and Water Erosion-Reducing Ability of Alpine Silver Grass and Yushan Cane for Alpine Grassland Soil Conservation

, 2021
In Taiwan, intensive forest fires frequently cause serious forest degradation, soil erosion and impacts on alpine vegetation. Post-fire succession often induces the substitution of forest by alpine grassland.

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Contrasting belowground bud banks and their driving factors between alpine and temperate grasslands in China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Despite playing a fundamental role in plant population dynamics, the considerable variability and control of belowground bud banks in grasslands currently remain unknown globally.
