THE DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR AND APPLICATION OF ONE ALPINE MEADOW MODEL
Journal of Applied Analysis & Computation, 2021 Summary: In recent years, the alpine meadow has degraded seriously, before restoring the degraded alpine meadow, it is necessary to know the cause of degrading and to find the effective restoration measure. One forage grass-livestock-rodent-raptor dynamical model is formulated and analyzed.

Estimating the spatial and temporal distribution of species richness within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. [PDF]
, 2014 Evidence for significant losses of species richness or biodiversity, even within protected natural areas, is mounting. Managers are increasingly being asked to monitor biodiversity, yet estimating biodiversity is often prohibitively expensive.

Complex responses of spring vegetation growth to climate in a moisture-limited alpine meadow. [PDF]
, 2016 Since 2000, the phenology has advanced in some years and at some locations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, whereas it has been delayed in others. To understand the variations in spring vegetation growth in response to climate, we conducted both regional ...

On the trails of Josias Braun-Blanquet : changes in the grasslands of the inneralpine dry valleys during the last 70 years. First results from the 11th EDGG Field Workshop in Austria [PDF]
, 2020 The 11th EDGG Field Workshop was held from 6 to 13 July 2018 in Austria. Its aim was to revisit dry grasslands in the inneralpine dry valleys of Austria that were investigated in the late 1950s by Braun-Blanquet and to collect high-quality biodiversity ...

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]
, 2017 Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

Major Type of Mattic-Epipedon Ruptures in Alpine Meadow Ecosystems on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2023 Alpine meadow degradation is an important issue for ecosystem stability in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). As an essential part of alpine meadow ecosystems, mattic epipedon (ME) refers to the soil surface horizons rich in organic matter and roots, which
