Future climate may profoundly impact the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, we do not know well how different types grassland ecosystems is associated with variation in temperature and precipitation. Here, used long-term field measurements to examine climatic changes between 1980s 2010s (i.e., growing season temperature, precipitation, habitat moisture index, solar radiation, sunsh...

Pseudo-alpine grassland ecosystems have started to decline during the past few decades. According many studies, climate change and abandonment of traditional anthropogenic activities are directly linked this phenomenon. However, interaction these two factors with pseudo-alpine grasslands has not been studied in Greece. The aim study was assess impact climatic transhumant livestock grazing on st...

The constant biotic and abiotic interventions on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP) are seriously degrading grasslands and, at same time, restricting active ecosystem function grassland vegetation distribution plateau. This research analyses dynamics of composition across three land uses counties. degree degradation was divided into four land-use types based, i.e., healthy (HG), restored (RG), mod...

Revegetation has been proposed as an effective approach to restoring the extremely degraded grassland in Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). However, little is known about effect of revegetation on ecosystem carbon density (ECD), especially alpine permafrost regions. We compared aboveground biomass (ABCD), belowground (BBCD), soil organic (SOCD), and ECD intact meadow, degraded, revegetated grasslan...
