Unprecedented levels of nitrogen (N) have been deposited in ecosystems over the past
century, which is expected to have cascading effects on microbially mediated soil respiration …

Global warming is anticipated to have profound effects on terrestrial carbon fluxes and thus
feed backs to future climate change. Ecosystem respiration (R eco) is one of the dominant …

Soil microorganisms regulate carbon (C) transfer from terrestrial sources to the atmosphere,
therefore playing a pivotal role in soil C dynamics. Worldwide, grazing is one of the most …

Soil microbes play critical roles in regulating terrestrial carbon (C) cycle and its feedback to
climate change. However, it is still unclear how the soil microbial community and abundance …

Incomplete combustion of solid fuels (animal dung and bituminous coal) is a common
phenomenon during residential cooking and heating in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) …

Intermediate volatility organic compounds (IVOCs) are important precursors to secondary
organic aerosols (SOAs), but they are often neglected in studies concerning SOA formation …

Grazing is the primary land use practice in alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau.
However, it remains unclear how grazing regulates levels of carbon and the water cycle in …

Abstract Grassland in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides tremendous carbon (C)
sinks and is the important ground for grazing. Grassland degradation, the loss of plant …

In recent decades, alpine grasslands have been seriously degraded on the Tibetan Plateau
and grazing exclusion by fencing has been widely adopted to restore degraded grasslands …

Despite the importance of future carbon (C) pools for policy and land management decisions
under various climate change scenarios, predictions of these pools under altered climate …
