Opposite responses of global warming potential to ammonium and nitrate addition in an alpine steppe soil from Northern Tibet

, 2020
Deposit of inorganic nitrogen (N) in different forms may divergently impact soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and then aroused different feedback of global warming potential (GWP).

Recovery of Alpine Herbfield on a Closed Walking Track in the Kosciuszko Alpine Zone, Australia.

, 2006
Human use of arctic and alpine environments can result in damage to the natural vegetation and soils. Restoration of the damage can have limited success due to the severity of the environment, which restricts plant germination and growth and increases ...

O Flux Response to Multiple Nitrogen Additions in an Alpine Steppe

, 2018
Emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) contribute to global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion. Anthropogenic N2O emissions predominately result from the addition of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers to terrestrial ecosystems.

Data from: The microbially-mediated soil organic carbon loss under degenerative succession in an alpine meadow

, 2017
Land-cover change has long been recognized as having marked effect on the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the microbially-mediated processes and mechanisms on SOC are still unclear.
