A bibliometric analysis of research trends and hotspots in alpine grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
A bibliometric analysis of current research, hotspots, and development trends was used to develop an overall framework of mechanisms of alpine grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Grassland degradation affected vegetation carbon density but not soil carbon density [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background With the profound changes in the global climate, the issue of grassland degradation is becoming increasingly prominent. Grassland degradation poses a severe threat to the carbon cycle and carbon storage within grassland ecosystems ...

The implementation of ecological protection in Inner Mongolia has slowed down grassland degradation [PDF]

Fundamental Research
: The Inner Mongolia grassland has been facing critical degradation. To combat this issue, China has launched a series of ecological restoration programs since the early 2000s to promote the recovery of degraded grasslands (e.g., the Beijing–Tianjin Wind/

Microbial functional changes mark irreversible course of Tibetan grassland degradation. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2022
The Tibetan Plateau’s Kobresia pastures store 2.5% of the world’s soil organic carbon (SOC). Climate change and overgrazing render their topsoils vulnerable to degradation, with SOC stocks declining by 42% and nitrogen (N) by 33% at severely degraded ...

Applying Bayesian Belief Networks to Assess Alpine Grassland Degradation Risks: A Case Study in Northwest Sichuan, China [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Grasslands are crucial components of ecosystems. In recent years, owing to certain natural and socio-economic factors, alpine grassland ecosystems have experienced significant degradation. This study integrated the frequency ratio model (FR) and Bayesian

An early warning signal for grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
Intense grazing may lead to grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but it is difficult to predict where this will occur and to quantify it.

Combatting global grassland degradation

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2021
Grasslands are under severe threat from ongoing degradation, undermining their capacity to support biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being. Yet, grasslands are largely ignored in sustainable development agendas. In this Perspective, we examine the current state of global grasslands and explore the extent and dominant drivers of their ...

Grassland Degradation Has Stronger Effects on Soil Fungal Community Than Bacterial Community across the Semi-Arid Region of Northern China. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2022
Soil microbes play crucial roles in grassland ecosystem functions, such as soil carbon (C) pool and nutrient cycle. Soil microbes in grasslands are susceptible to the degradation mediated by climate change and anthropogenic disturbance. However, research

Assessment of Grassland Degradation on the Tibetan Plateau Based on Multi-Source Data

Remote Sensing, 2022
Grassland is one of the most widely distributed ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) accounting for about 60% of the total area. The grassland degradation has spread throughout the TP, and the scope and degree are increasing. The inconsistency of multi-

Quantifying Grass Coverage Trends to Identify the Hot Plots of Grassland Degradation in the Tibetan Plateau during 2000-2019. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2021
Grassland covers 54% of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and suffered overgrazing and degradation problems during past decades. To alleviate these problems, a series of policy measures have been implemented during recent two decades and inevitably caused changes
