Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The increase in atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has resulted in some terrestrial ecological changes. In order to identify the response of sensitive indicators to N input and estimate the sensitivity and saturation thresholds in alpine grasslands, we ...

Is grazing exclusion effective in restoring vegetation in degraded alpine grasslands in Tibet, China? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Overgrazing is considered one of the key disturbance factors that results in alpine grassland degradation in Tibet. Grazing exclusion by fencing has been widely used as an approach to restore degraded grasslands in Tibet since 2004.

Legacy Effects of Climate Extremes in Alpine Grassland [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Climate change is particularly apparent in many mountainous regions, with warming rates of more than twice the global average being reported for the European Alps. As a result, the probability of climate extremes has increased and is expected to rise further.

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

Agricultural Water Management, 2023 Alpine grasslands are the dominant vegetation of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and are essential to understanding the mechanism of change in water use efficiency (WUE) in high-cold ecosystems in a changing environment. However, it is still unclear how the WUE

Applied Sciences, 2020 Alpine grasslands are a common feature on the extensive (2.6 million km2) Qinghai–Tibet plateau in western and southwestern China. These grasslands are characterized by their ability to thrive at high altitudes and in areas with short growing seasons and

Contrasting microbial biogeographical patterns between anthropogenic subalpine grasslands and natural alpine grasslands [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2015 Summary The effect of plant species composition on soil microbial communities was studied at the multiregional level. We compared the soil microbial communities of alpine natural grasslands dominated by Carex curvula and anthropogenic subalpine pastures dominated by Nardus stricta. We conducted paired sampling across the Carpathians and the Alps and
