Impacts of climate change and human activities on different degraded grassland based on NDVI

Scientific Reports, 2022
Grassland degradation has emerged as a serious socio-economic and ecological problem, endangering both long-term usage and the regional biogeochemical cycle. Climate change and human activities are the two leading factors leading to grassland degradation.

Grassland type-dependent spatiotemporal characteristics of productivity in Inner Mongolia and its response to climate factors

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Grassland located in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems has an evident ecological fragility and is easily vulnerable to climatic variations. Although several studies have shown the close relationship between net primary production (NPP) and seasonal or ...

The diversity and co-occurrence network of soil bacterial and fungal communities and their implications for a new indicator of grassland degradation

, 2021
Grassland degradation is a retrogressive succession of grassland vegetation, which leads to the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystem functions. Soil microbiomes play critical roles in the functioning and services of grassland ecosystems,

Divergent accumulation of microbial necromass and plant lignin components in grassland soils

Nature Communications, 2018
The means through which microbes and plants contribute to soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation remain elusive due to challenges in disentangling the complex components of SOC.

Assessment of soil structure and root patterns by means of Micro-X-ray computed tomography in temperate grassland sites [PDF]

, 2023
Grassland sites are important ecosystems delivering essential ecosystem services such as carbon storage and filtering of water. Adequate management necessitates a better understanding of soil ecological processes in grassland ecosystems.

Grassland carbon sequestration and emissions following cultivation in a mixed crop rotation [PDF]

, 2012
Grasslands are potential carbon sinks to reduce unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2. Effect of age (1 to 4-yr-old) and management (slurry, grazing multispecies mixture) of a grass phase mixed crop rotation on carbon sequestration and emissions upon

Construction of an Early Warning System Based on a Fuzzy Matter-Element Model for Diagnosing the Health of Alpine Grassland: A Case Study of Henan County, Qinghai, China

, 2023
To maintain alpine grassland in a healthy and sustainable state, a sound warning system was developed to diagnose its potential degradation risk. Data related to grassland quality (six indicators), habitat (six indicators), and eco-carrying capacity ...

Multi‐Li+ Coordination for Superior Room‐Temperature Ionic Conductivity in PEO Solid Electrolytes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A phosphonate‐functionalized polycarboxylate ether (P‐PCE) is introduced into PEO electrolytes to induce multi‐Li+ ions coordination, which effectively dissociates lithium salts, liberates Li+ from the strong chelation by PEO chains, and promotes fast Li+ hopping between adjacent coordination sites. Simultaneously, this design establishes dynamic, high‐

Estimating Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Contents of West–East Grassland Transect in Inner Mongolia Based on Sentinel-2 and Meteorological Data

Remote Sensing, 2022
Estimating the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents of a large-span grassland transect is essential for evaluating ecosystem functioning and monitoring biogeochemical cycles.
