Soil Moisture but Not Warming Dominates Nitrous Oxide Emissions During Freeze–Thaw Cycles in a Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau Alpine Meadow With Discontinuous Permafrost
July 27, 2021 Soil Moisture but Not Warming Dominates Nitrous Oxide Emissions During Freeze–Thaw Cycles in a Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau Alpine Meadow With Discontinuous Permafrost
Atmospheric water vapor and soil moisture jointly determine the spatiotemporal variations of CO2 fluxes and evapotranspiration across the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau grasslands
July 20, 2021 Alpine grasslands play important functions in mitigating climate change and regulating water resources. However, the spatiotemporal variability of their carbon and water budgets remains unquantified. Here, 47 site-yea...
Above-and belowground biodiversity jointly drive ecosystem stability in natural alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau
May 26, 2021 We coupled a field biodiversity survey conducted in 54 alpine grassland ecosystems across the Tibetan Plateau with a satellite-sensed proxy (enhanced vegetation index, EVI) of ecosystem productivity during 2001–2016....
The effects of long-term warming on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities depend on habitat type on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
May 21, 2021 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread root-associated microorganisms that participate in many ecosystem processes. However, the response of AMF communities to global warming still remains poorly understood...
Resistance-Based Connectivity Model to Construct Corridors of the Przewalski’s Gazelle (Procapra Przewalskii) in Fragmented Landscape
March 19, 2021 Habitat connectivity is indispensable for the survival of species that occupy a small habitat area and have isolated habitat patches from each other. At present, the development of human economy squeezes the living sp...
