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.

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

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 ...

Competition and soil conditions limit the growth of High Arctic non‐native plants
Oikos, EarlyView.Non‐native vascular plant species in the High Arctic are currently restricted mainly to settlements and other anthropogenically disturbed areas. The reasons for this remain unclear, but climate or dispersal do not appear to be the main limiting factors. Instead, biotic interactions combined with soil conditions may play important roles.

Environmental Research Letters, 2014 The variation and control of soil organic carbon (SOC) and other nutrients in permafrost regions are critical for studying the carbon cycle and its potential feedbacks to climate change; however, they are poorly understood.

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

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.
