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 ...

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.

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

Effects of simulated litter inputs on ecological niches and interspecific connectivity of alpine meadow plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionPlant litter enters the soil as the main nutrient for alpine meadow ecosystems, and the amount of litter input has a significant effect on alpine meadow plant diversity, ecological niches, and interspecific connectivity.MethodsThe ecological ...

Stability of alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2006
The meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is considered to be sensitive to climate change. An understanding of the alpine meadow ecosystem is therefore important for predicting the response of ecosystems to climate change. In this study, we use the coefficients of variation (Cv) and stability (E) obtained from the Haibei Alpine Meadow ...

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.

Contrasting response of growing season water use efficiency to precipitation changes between alpine meadows and alpine steppes over the Tibetan Plateau

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
