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

open access: yesInternational 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]

open access: yesBiology (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

Distinguishing Stoichiometric Homeostasis of Soil Microbial Biomass in Alpine Grassland Ecosystems: Evidence From 5,000 km Belt Transect Across Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The biogeographic characteristics of soil microbial biomass stoichiometry homeostasis and also its mechanisms are commonly thought to be key factors for the survival strategies and resource utilization of soil microbes under extreme habitat. In this work,

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

open access: yes, 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.
