The grassland ecosystems cover above 60% of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and provide
important ecosystem services and functions at local and regional scales. However, both …

Uncertainties about the response of plant photosynthesis and growth to elevated
temperature make it difficult to predict how plant production will vary under future climatic …

Grassland areas occupy 60% of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and play a critical role in
enhancing the ecological barrier functions of the QTP. Grassland ecosystems, and net …

The Alpine region is warming fast, and concurrently, the frequency and intensity of climate
extremes are increasing. It is currently unclear whether alpine ecosystems are sensitive or …

Alpine meadows in the Tibetan Plateau contain a large amount of soil organic carbon
(SOC), which is highly vulnerable to climate change and has thus been a research priority …

A warming experiment was established along an altitudinal gradient (low elevation: 4313 m,
mid-elevation: 4513 m and high elevation: 4693 m) in alpine meadows of the Northern Tibet …

Vegetation dynamics and their response to climate change is critical for determining the
mechanisms of climate-derived variations in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, the Normalized …

Atmospheric water demand is practically characterized as vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and
has been identified as a critical driver of ecosystem function, by affecting plant mortality …

Temperature is conventionally considered as the dominant factor regulating carbon fluxes of
the alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau, while contribution from water availability is …

There are still uncertainties on the impacts of season-non-uniform-warming on plant
precipitation use efficiency (PUE) and its temporal stability (PUEstability) in alpine areas …
