Bacterial richness is negatively related to potential soil multifunctionality in a degraded alpine meadow

, 2021
Fungal richness and community composition are known to be positively associated with soil multifunctionality. However, the contributions of bacterial and fungal communities to the multiple soil functions of alpine meadow ecosystems have not been widely ...

Methane emission by plant communities in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: a new experimental study of alpine meadows and oat pasture [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2009
Recently, plant-derived methane (CH 4 ) emission has been questioned because limited evidence of the chemical mechanism has been identified to account for the process. We conducted an experiment with four treatments (i.e.

Below-Ground Growth of Alpine Plants, Not Above-Ground Growth, Is Linked to the Extent of Its Carbon Storage

Plants, 2021
Understanding carbon allocation in plants is essential for explaining their growth strategies during environmental adaptation. However, the role of mobile carbon in plant growth and its response to habitat conditions is still disputed. In degraded meadow

Precipitation Alters the Effects of Temperature on the Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Alpine Meadows [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Precipitation and temperature are major controls on multiple ecosystem functions in alpine grasslands. There is scant evidence for the interactive effects of temperature and precipitation changes on the ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) in alpine meadows.

Plant Allometric Growth Enhanced by the Change in Soil Stoichiometric Characteristics With Depth in an Alpine Meadow Under Climate Warming

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The effects of global warming have warmed the climate of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) leading to changes in plant growth and soil nutrients in the alpine meadows.

Freeze–thaw cycle frequency affects root growth of alpine meadow through changing soil moisture and nutrients

Scientific Reports, 2022
Alpine meadows grow in alpine regions and play an important role in the production and life of alpine regions. As a unique feature of alpine regions, freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) affect the growth of alpine meadows.

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
