Impacts of human pressure and climate on biodiversity–multifunctionality relationships on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Many studies have investigated the effects of environmental context on biodiversity or multifunctionality in alpine regions, but it is uncertain how human pressure and climate may affect their relationships.

Soil Bacterial Communities and Diversity in Alpine Grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau Based on 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The Tibetan Plateau, widely known as the world’s “Third Pole,” has gained extensive attention due to its susceptibility to climate change. Alpine grasslands are the dominant ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau, albeit little is known about the microbial ...

Nitrogen Sensitivity of Soil Microorganism Community in Alpine Desert Steppe is Not Always Higher than that in Alpine Steppe

Global Ecology and Conservation
A rapid increase in nitrogen deposition has caused many hazards to the Tibetan Plateau over the past few decades. However, as one of the important limiting factors in alpine ecosystems, nitrogen fertilizers are often used to restore the severely degraded grassland.

Effects of Relative Precipitation Changes on Soil Microbial Community Structure in Two Alpine Grassland Ecosystems

Agronomy
Precipitation variability profoundly influences soil microbial diversity, community assembly processes, and co-occurrence networks. However, the responses of soil microbial structure to relative precipitation changes in alpine regions remain uncertain ...

Alpine Steppe Vegetation Patterns in the Koyondu Valley, Kyrgyz Republic

Geographical Studies, 2014
As a part of an ecological research project on wild animals, alpine steppe vegetation in the Koyondu Valley, the Sarychat-Ertash State Reserve, in the northern Tian Shan Mountains of the Kyrgyz Republic was surveyed. Horses and sheep were kept as livestock, while wildlife such as Marco Polo sheep (argali) and wolves also inhabited the region ...

Changes in soil pH on the Tibetan Plateau from the 1980 s to 2020 s

Geoderma
Soil pH, as a crucial variable in the soil environment, has a significant impact on the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems. The Tibetan Plateau is recognized as one of the most sensitive regions to global climate change. However, the degree

Quantitative Assessment of the Impact of Physical and Anthropogenic Factors on Vegetation Spatial-Temporal Variation in Northern Tibet

Remote Sensing, 2019
The alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau covers an area of about 1/3 of China’s total grassland area and plays a crucial role in regulating grassland ecological functions.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...
