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

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
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.
