Responses of soil respiration to experimental warming in an alpine steppe on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2019
Abstract High-latitude and high-altitude ecosystems store large amounts of carbon (C) and play a vital role in the global C cycle. Soil respiration (R S) in these ecosystems is believed to be extremely sensitive to climate warming and could potentially trigger positive C-climate feedback.

Effects of Fertilization and Reseeding on Above- and Belowground Biodiversity in Degraded Alpine Steppe

open access: yesDiversity
The ecological restoration of degraded alpine steppe is a critical component of ecological conservation efforts on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we investigated the effects of fertilization, reseeding, and combined fertilization with reseeding restoration measures on the vegetation community, soil properties and microbial community ...

Distinguishing Stoichiometric Homeostasis of Soil Microbial Biomass in Alpine Grassland Ecosystems: Evidence From 5,000 km Belt Transect Across Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The biogeographic characteristics of soil microbial biomass stoichiometry homeostasis and also its mechanisms are commonly thought to be key factors for the survival strategies and resource utilization of soil microbes under extreme habitat. In this work,

Contrasting response of growing season water use efficiency to precipitation changes between alpine meadows and alpine steppes over the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesAgricultural Water Management, 2023
Alpine grasslands are the dominant vegetation of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and are essential to understanding the mechanism of change in water use efficiency (WUE) in high-cold ecosystems in a changing environment. However, it is still unclear how the WUE

DIGITAL EXTRACTION AND CHANGE ANALYSIS OF ALTITUDINAL NATURAL ZONES IN TIANSHAN TOMUR NATURAL HERITAGE SITE [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
The Tomur Natural Heritage Site possesses the most typical altitudinal natural zones on the south slope of the Tianshan Mountains. Five altitudinal zones have developed on the south faced slope, including: warm temperate desert zone, mountain steppe zone,

Modeling land-atmosphere energy and water exchanges in the typical alpine grassland in Tibetan Plateau using Noah-MP

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023
Study region: Alpine grassland in the Tibetan Plateau Study focus: This study used Noah-MP to simulate the energy fluxes [net radiation (Rn), latent (λE) and sensible (H) heat fluxes] in two typical alpine ecosystems in the Tibetan Plateau.

Consumption of atmospheric methane by the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau alpine steppe ecosystem [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2017
Abstract. Methane (CH4) cycle on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP), the world's largest high-elevation permafrost region, is sensitive to climate change and subsequent cryoturbation dynamics. Yet its magnitudes, patterns, and environmental controls are still poorly understood.

Climate-soil interactions improve the stability of grassland ecosystem by driving alpine plant diversity

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
The grassland ecosystem plays an important role in maintaining ecological security. This study intends to better understand the effects of climate-soil interaction on the alpine grassland ecosystem and to further deepen the understanding of plant ...
