Adequate water supply enhances seedling growth and metabolism in Festuca kryloviana: insights from physiological and transcriptomic analys

BMC Plant Biology
Background Festuca kryloviana is a significant native grass species in the Qinghai Lake region, and its low emergence rate is a primary factor limiting the successful establishment of cultivated grasslands.

Stay-Green Trait Enhances Grain Yield, Nutritional Quality, and Seed Germination Ability in Oat (Avena sativa L.) on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Plants
Oat is a dual-purpose crop valued for both grain and forage. The stay-green (SG) trait, which delays leaf senescence and prolongs photosynthesis, has been shown to increase yield and quality in several crop species, yet its performance across diverse ...

The Aridity Threshold of Soil Organic Carbon Density Along the Climate Aridity Gradient in the Alpine Ecosystem of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10205-10216, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is a key indicator for evaluating the stability of soil carbon pools, especially in alpine ecosystems that are sensitive to climate change. However, research on the response of SOCD to different aridity gradients is still limited. Therefore, we conducted extensive sampling along different aridity gradients of

The impact of mixed planting of Poaceae species in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region on forage yield, soil nutrients, and soil microbial communities

Frontiers in Plant Science
Establishing cultivated grassland in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region is an effective method to address the conflict between vegetation and livestock. However, the high altitude, low temperature, and arid climate in the region result in slow regeneration

Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10232-10245, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Influences of climate change on area variation of Qinghai Lake on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau since 1980s

Scientific Reports, 2018
Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is the most sensitive region to global warming on Earth. Qinghai Lake, the largest lake on the plateau, has experienced evident area variation during the past several decades.

Stability of alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2006
The meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is considered to be sensitive to climate change. An understanding of the alpine meadow ecosystem is therefore important for predicting the response of ecosystems to climate change. In this study, we use the coefficients of variation (Cv) and stability (E) obtained from the Haibei Alpine Meadow ...

Significant Imbalance Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Services in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Evidence From an Improved Coupling Coordination Degree Model

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10255-10271, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maintaining balanced interactions between humans and ecosystems in plateau regions is critical to achieving global sustainable development. However, existing methodologies are insufficient to fully elucidate the complex coupling and coordination relationships between human activities and ecosystems, as well as the sustainable development ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10308-10323, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.

Methionine Supplementation Benefits Lipogenesis in Goat Intramuscular Adipocytes, Likely by Inhibiting the Expression of SLC5A5

Animals
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a crucial indicator of meat quality. Recent studies increasingly suggest that methionine (Met) plays a role in fat accumulation. However, the mechanism by which Met affects the proliferation and differentiation of intramuscular
