Grassland Research, EarlyView.Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Tiny “ecosystem engineers,” plateau pikas range across 1600 m², about two basketball courts, mixing soil and nutrients that sustain Tibet's fragile grasslands. Custom‐made trackers and drone imagery show dawn‐to‐dusk surface foraging and nested‐scale patch choices, offering fresh guidance for wildlife‐friendly grazing management.

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

The Scientific World Journal, 2012 Current literature suggests that grassland degradation occurs in areas with poor soil conditions or noticeable environmental changes and is often a result of overgrazing or human disturbances. However, these views are questioned in our analyses. Based on

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Grassland functional zoning and spatial optimization scheme on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Based on multifunctionality assessment, the scheme proposes allocating 32% of regional grassland as nature reserve grasslands (biodiversity focus), 63% as livestock grazing grasslands (smart ecological–production management), and 5% as cultivated grasslands (high‐
