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 ...

Precipitation increase counteracts warming effects on plant and soil C:N:P stoichiometry in an alpine meadow [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Temperature and precipitation are expected to increase in the forthcoming decades in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with uncertain effects of their interaction on plant and soil carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry in alpine ...

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.

Herbivore assemblages affect soil microbial communities by altering root biomass and available nutrients in an alpine meadow. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2023
Three different herbivore grazing assemblages, namely, yak grazing (YG), Tibetan sheep grazing (SG) and yak and Tibetan sheep co-grazing (MG), are practiced in alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), but the effects of the different ...

Seasonal and Inter-Annual Variations of Carbon Dioxide Fluxes and Their Determinants in an Alpine Meadow. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2022
The alpine meadow is one of the most important ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) due to its huge carbon storage and wide distribution. Evaluating the carbon fluxes in alpine meadow ecosystems is crucial to understand the dynamics of carbon ...

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.

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 ...
