Different grassland managements significantly change carbon fluxes in an alpine meadow [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Alpine meadow plays vital roles in regional animal husbandry and the ecological environment. However, different grassland managements affect the structure and function of the alpine meadow.

Spatial and Temporal Differences in Alpine Meadow, Alpine Steppe and All Vegetation of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Their Responses to Climate Change

Remote Sensing, 2021
Alpine meadow and alpine steppe are the two most widely distributed nonzonal vegetation types in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In the context of global climate change, the differences in spatial-temporal variation trends and their responses to climate ...

Moderate Grazing Promotes Arthropod Species Diversity in an Alpine Meadow. [PDF]

Biology (Basel), 2023
Livestock grazing is an important tool used in grassland land management practices. Studies have substantially addressed the effect of grazing on plant species diversity, revealing that moderate grazing increases plant species diversity. However, few studies have dealt with the relationship between grazing and arthropod species diversity, which remains

Divergent shift of normal alpine meadow exacerbated soil loss of hillslope alpine meadows based on field experiments

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
Global climate change and overgrazing are driving shifts in the plant composition of grassland communities, which may profoundly affect the function of grassland ecosystems in regulating runoff and soil erosion.

UV-B Radiation Effects on the Alpine Plant Kobresia humilis in a Qinghai-Tibet Alpine Meadow. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2022
Enhanced UV-B radiation resulting from stratospheric ozone depletion has been documented both globally and on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. The response of Kobresia humilis, an important alpine meadow plant species, to enhanced UV-B radiation was experimentally investigated at the Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station (37°29′–37°45′ N ...

Different response of alpine meadow and alpine steppe to climatic and anthropogenic disturbance on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Climate change and anthropogenic disturbance are two main drivers for vegetation dynamics on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Alpine meadow and alpine steppe are the primary rangeland ecosystem types on the QTP.
