Grassland Research, EarlyView.Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Effects of Restoration on Community Biomass and Its Allocation in a Patchy Alpine Meadow
GrassesThe degradation of alpine meadows on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau has seriously affected the structure and productivity of grassland communities. In this experiment, a sample area was set up in Keqihetan of Zexiong Village, Youganning Town, Henan County ...

Plant community dynamics during the growing season of typical ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau
Geography and Sustainability, 2020 The relationships between vegetation and environmental factors have always been a core concern of ecologists. The dynamic characteristics of plant communities during the growing season can directly reflect these relationships, so we examined this issue ...

Response of forage nutrient storages to grazing in alpine grasslands
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Forage nutrient storages can determine livestock size and husbandry development. There is insufficient research on the response of forage nutrient storages to grazing and related driving mechanisms in alpine grasslands, especially on the Tibetan Plateau.

Plant communities responding to grazing pressure by sheep in an Alpine meadow
Translational Animal Science, 2020 Abstract The Chinese grassland ecosystem is an important national asset that not only impacts climate regulation, soil and water conservation, wind protection, and soil carbon and nitrogen fixation but is also an important contributor to maintaining grassland biodiversity while supporting livestock production.

Plant community responses to warming modified by soil moisture in the Tibetan Plateau
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020 Predicted warming in Tibetan Plateau may have profound effects on plant community structure and function. We used open-top chambers to artificially warm two different plant communities in Tibet from 2012 to 2016.
