Effects of Short-Term Nitrogen Addition on Soil Fungal Community Increase with Nitrogen Addition Rate in an Alpine Steppe at the Source of Brahmaputra

Microorganisms, 2023
The soil fungal community plays a crucial role in terrestrial decomposition and biogeochemical cycles. However, the responses of the soil fungal community to short-term nitrogen addition and its related dominant drivers still remain unclear.

Observational Verification of the Cumulative Resilience Screening Index (CRSI) Using Hurricanes, Inland Floods, and Wildfires From 2016 to 2019

GeoHealth, 2022
Users can apply three processes to develop confidence in decision‐making tools like models and indices—validation, verification, and observation. The utility of the Cumulative Resilience Screening Index (CRSI) was demonstrated by combining the processes ...

Propagule pressure and an invasion syndrome determine invasion success in a plant community model

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The success of species invasions depends on multiple factors, including propagule pressure, disturbance, productivity, and the traits of native and non‐native species.

Effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities on soil pH in grassland regions on the Tibetan Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Although soil pH is an important indicator of soil quality, the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities on soil pH remain controversial.

Biogenic Aggregation of Small Microplastics Alters Their Ingestion by a Common Freshwater Micro-Invertebrate

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
In recent years, increasing concerns have been raised about the environmental risk of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems. Small microplastics enter the water either directly or accumulate through disintegration of larger plastic particles.

Different responses of soil bacterial species diversity and phylogenetic diversity to short-term nitrogen input in an alpine steppe at the source of Brahmaputra

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has experienced an increase in N deposition/input due to global change. However, it remains unclear how the responses and whether the responses of soil bacterial diversity to short-term N input are consistent at different levels.

Has the Dominant Climatic Driver for the Carbon Budget of Alpine Grassland Shifted from Temperature to Precipitation on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau?

Remote Sensing, 2023
The alpine grassland on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (AGQTP) has undergone severe climate change. Although the carbon budget of AGQTP proved to have altered significantly, the spatiotemporal dynamics and the driving mechanism of the changes remain debated ...

Ecological Engineering Projects Shifted the Dominance of Human Activity and Climate Variability on Vegetation Dynamics

Remote Sensing, 2022
Global greening and its eco-environmental outcomes are getting mounting international focus. The important contribution of China to the global greening is highly appreciated. However, the basic driving forces are still elusive. The Loess Plateau (LP) and

High precipitation rates increase potassium density in plant communities in the Tibetan Plateau

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Potassium is essential for plant growth. However, our understanding of potassium in plant materials is limited due to a lack of systematic studies. Here, we measured potassium content in 2,040 ecosystem communities during the period 2019-2021 applying ...
