Permafrost Degradation Leads to Biomass and Species Richness Decreases on the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Plants, 2020
Degradation of permafrost with a thin overlying active layer can greatly affect vegetation via changes in the soil water and nutrient regimes within the active layer, while little is known about the presence or absence of such effects in areas with a ...

Increases in vegetation cover increase response more to climate change than to human activities in the Baiyangdian watershed

Environmental Research Communications
Baiyangdian watershed is located in the upstream of Xiongan New Area, and as an important ecological source of the new area, its vegetation cover status has an important impact on the environmental quality and ecological health of the new area.
