Changes in Temperature Sensitivity and Activation Energy of Soil Organic Matter Decomposition in Different Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Grasslands.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau grasslands are unique geographical regions and store substantial soil organic matter (SOM) in the soil surface, which make them very sensitive to global climate change.

Quantitative Assessment of the Impact of Physical and Anthropogenic Factors on Vegetation Spatial-Temporal Variation in Northern Tibet

Remote Sensing, 2019
The alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau covers an area of about 1/3 of China’s total grassland area and plays a crucial role in regulating grassland ecological functions.

Belowground bud banks and land use change: roles of vegetation and soil properties in mediating the composition of bud banks in different ecosystems

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionBelowground bud banks play integral roles in vegetation regeneration and ecological succession of plant communities; however, human-caused changes in land use severely threaten their resilience and regrowth. Although vegetation attributes and

A thermal conductivity model for alpine meadow soils on the Tibetan Plateau and validation analysis

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
Under the background of global warming, natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides are becoming more frequent on the Tibetan Plateau. It is important to study the thermal behavior of alpine meadow soils, which are widely distributed on the ...

Methodological comparison of alpine meadow evapotranspiration on the Tibetan Plateau, China

PLOS ONE, 2017
L'estimation de l'évapotranspiration (ET) des prairies alpines du plateau tibétain (TP) est essentielle pour la gestion des ressources en eau. Cependant, les données d'observation ont été limitées en raison des climats extrêmes et du terrain complexe de cette région.

Alpine steppe vegetation communities are more sensitive to plateau pika disturbance than alpine meadows

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionSmall herbivores are important biological factors affecting plant productivity and species richness in the grassland ecosystem of the Tibetan Plateau. However, the response of different grassland types to the disturbance of the “endemic species” plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, two representative ...

Enhancements of soil priming effect and carbon sequestration in degraded alpine meadows via supplementation: a comparative study of Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) excrements

Ecological Processes
Background Grassland degradation decreases the capacity of soil carbon sequestration, while the supplementation of exogenous organic matter enhances the soil priming effect (PE) and affects the carbon cycle in the soil.
