The variation in soil water retention of alpine shrub meadow under different degrees of degradation on northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan plateau

  In recent decades,an increasing proportion of alpine shrub meadow has become severely degraded owing to the combined effects of global climate warming and rodent infestation,with significant impacts on soil water retention.The present paper investigates the patterns and controlling factors of soil water retention of alpine shrub meadow under different degrees of degradation,to help inform decisions on the management of degraded alpine shrub meadow.

    This result was published in Plant and Soil with the title of "The variation in soil water retention of alpine shrub meadow under different degrees of degradation on northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan plateau"on May 2020.
