Revitalizing the grassland on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Grassland Research, 2023
AbstractGrassland 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 and efficient conservation of these unique and globally valuable ecosystems.

Assessment of the vulnerability of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

PeerJ, 2020
Assessing ecosystem vulnerability to climate change is critical for sustainable and adaptive ecosystem management. Alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are considered to be vulnerable to climate change, yet the ecosystem tends to maintain stability by increasing resilience and decreasing sensitivity.

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

Nat Commun, 2023
AbstractIntense 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. Based on a process-based ecosystem model, we define a productivity-based stocking rate threshold that induces extreme grassland degradation to assess whether and where the current grazing ...

Snow effects on alpine vegetation in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2013
Understanding the relationships between snow and vegetation is important for interpretation of the responses of alpine ecosystems to climate changes. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is regarded as an ideal area due to its undisturbed features with low population and relatively high snow cover.

Grassland Degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Reevaluation of Causative Factors [PDF]

, 2019
In light of Harris (2010) finding insufficient evidence to assert a causal linkage between any of the seven previously proposed causative factors and grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), more recent empirical studies on QTP ...
