Revitalizing the grassland on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Grassland Research, 2023 Grassland is the largest ecosystem on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and provides multiple ecosystem functions and services. Understanding the endowment of the QTP grassland and how to revitalize it have profound implications for the sustainable use ...

Do roads lead to grassland degradation or restoration? A case study in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]
, 2011 We use satellite remote sensing data of grassland cover in Inner Mongolia, China to test whether the existence of and the size of roads in 1995 is associated with the nature of the grassland in 2000 and/or if it affects the rate of change of the ...

Soil carbon sequestration accelerated by restoration of grassland biodiversity
Nature Communications, 2019 Agriculturally degraded and abandoned lands can remove atmospheric CO2 and sequester it as soil organic matter during natural succession. However, this process may be slow, requiring a century or longer to re-attain pre-agricultural soil carbon levels ...
