Precipitation shapes communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Tibetan alpine steppe. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
AbstractTibetan Plateau is one of the largest and most unique habitats for organisms including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, it remains unclear how AMF communities respond to key environmental changes in this harsh environment. To test if precipitation could be a driving force in shaping AMF community structures at regional scale, we ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation & Development
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes. This study targeted

Differential response of alpine steppe and alpine meadow to climate warming in the central Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2016
Recently, the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau has experienced significant warming. Climate warming is expected to have profound effects on plant community productivity and composition, which can drive ecosystem structure and function. To explore effects of warming on plant community productivity and composition, we conducted a warming experiment using open top

Stoichiometric homeostasis does not affect species dominance and stability in an alpine steppe, Tibetan Plateau

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2019
Studies of stoichiometric homeostasis in different types of plant species growing in alpine steppe environments are important in understanding the fitness and nutrient-use strategies of alpine plants in northern Tibet, which may be correlated with ...

Differentiation in the Underground Bud-Bank Structure of Poa pratensis Across Contrasting Alpine Grassland Habitats on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Plants
Underground bud banks play a critical role in vegetative regeneration of alpine grassland plants, but how species-level underground regenerative structures vary across contrasting habitats remains unclear.

Environmental Heterogeneity Drives Distinct Spatial Distribution Patterns of Microbial Co-Occurring Species Across Different Grassland Types [PDF]

Microorganisms
Grasslands, as dominant terrestrial ecosystems, significantly influence soil microbial communities through alterations in soil properties. However, their effects on spatial patterns of soil microbial communities are still under-investigated.

Changes in Biomass and Quality of Alpine Steppe in Response to N & P Fertilization in the Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
In the alpine steppe zone on the Central Tibetan Plateau, a large amount of area has been degraded due to natural and artificial factors. N & P fertilization is widely accepted to recover degraded pastures in other regions all over the world. However, it is not clear how alpine steppe communities respond to N & P fertilization, and what is the optimal ...

Vegetation patches modify the acquisition of nitrogen by plants and microorganisms in a degraded alpine steppe

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for both plants and soil microbes, but it often has limited availability. Currently, little is known about the effects of different vegetation patch types on the partitioning of N between plants and soil ...
