SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF ALPINE GRASSLAND PATCHES IN THE SOURCE REGION OF THE YELLOW RIVER AND ITS ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
The source region of the Yellow River is an important source of water conservation in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is also an animal husbandry base that has a major impact on China. Its ecological environment changes will have a major impact on the safe

Ecosystem services relationship characteristics of the degraded alpine shrub meadow on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Alpine shrub meadows hold significant importance as grassland ecosystems on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP). They provide a range of vital ecosystem services (ESs) and are commonly utilized as summer pastures by herders, resulting in short grazing ...

Evaluation of the applicability of the root water uptake model on alpine meadows and analysis of root water uptake characteristics

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
It is essential to quantify the rate of root water uptake (RWU) and characterize the variability of RWU, which benefits understanding the water use of alpine meadows and its response to environmental changes.

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.

Influences of drought on the stability of an alpine meadow ecosystem

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2022
ABSTRACT Drought plays a prominent role in affecting ecosystem stability and ecosystem productivity. Based on eddy covariance and climatic observations during 2012–2020, the Fisher discriminant analysis method was employed to accurately detect drought occurrences. Furthermore, the ecosystem water sensitivity and its resistance to

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.
