Linkage between species traits and plant phenology in an alpine meadow

Oecologia, 2021
Plant phenology differs largely among coexisting species within communities that share similar habitat conditions. However, the factors explaining such phenological diversity of plants have not been fully investigated. We hypothesize that species traits, including leaf mass per area (LMA), seed mass, stem tissue mass density (STD), maximum plant height

The phytosociology of some alpine meadows in N.W. Himalayas

Vegetatio, 1971
Phytosociological studies of certain meadows occurring above the tree line in N.W. Himalayas have been made. A close relationship of the ground cover with moisture, the thickness of soil cover and the amount and retention period of snow has been observed.

Nitrogen deposition and carbon sequestration in alpine meadows

Biogeochemistry, 2004
Nitrogen deposition experiments were carried out in alpine meadow ecosystems in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in China, in order to explore the contribution of nitrogen deposition to carbon sequestration in alpine meadows. Two methods were used in this respect. First, we used the allocation of 15 N tracer to soil and plant pools.

Grazing influences biomass production and protein content of alpine meadows

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Alpine grasslands are essential for carbon sequestration and food supply for domestic and wild herbivores inhabiting mountainous areas worldwide. These biomes, however, are alternatively threatened by the abandonment of agricultural and livestock practices leading to a fast-growing shrubification process while other mountain grasslands are suffering ...
