Effects of grassland management on plants and invertebrates in Transylvania, Romania : a threat to local biodiversity hotspots [PDF]

, 2007
Nutrient-poor grasslands are considered regional biodiversity hotspots and therefore of high conservation value (Blab & Kudrna 1982; Bignal & McCracken 1996; Sánchez-Zapata et al. 2003).

Nitrogen economy of alpine plants on the north Tibetan Plateau: Nitrogen conservation by resorption rather than open sources through biological symbiotic fixation

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important factors limiting plant productivity, and N fixation by legume species is an important source of N input into ecosystems.

Assemblages of herb-dwelling spiders (Araneae) of various steppe types in Ukraine and the Central Chernozem region of Russia [PDF]

, 2012
A total of 107 spider species from 15 families were recorded in the herbaceous vegetation of the steppe ecosystems of Ukraine and the Central Chernozem region of Russia. Araneidae, Thomisidae, Salticidae and Theridiidae were the most species-rich.

High Below-Ground Productivity Allocation of Alpine Grasslands on the Northern Tibet

Plants, 2019
The allocation of net primary production (NPP) between above- and belowground components is a key step of ecosystem material cycling and energy flows, which determines many critical parameters, e.g., the fraction of below ground NPP (BNPP) to NPP (fBNPP)

Synchronous Responses of Plant Functional Traits to Nitrogen Deposition From Dominant Species to Functional Groups and Whole Communities in Alpine Grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Nitrogen deposition is recognized as one of the major threats to the ecosystem function of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). However, few studies have documented the gradient responses of plant species, functional groups, and ...

Responses of carbon dynamics to grazing exclusion in natural alpine grassland ecosystems on the QingZang Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
In the context of “Carbon Emissions Peak” and “Carbon Neutrality”, grazing exclusion (GE) has been applied widely to rehabilitate degraded grasslands and increase carbon sequestration.

The aridity index governs the variation of vegetation characteristics in alpine grassland, Northern Tibet Plateau [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The vegetation dynamic (e.g., community productivity) is an important index used to evaluate the ecosystem function of grassland ecosystem. However, the critical factors that affect vegetation biomass are disputed continuously, and most of the debates ...
