past decades, which triggered exceptional responses in terrestrial ecosystems. Resolving …

The contemporary carbon balance over the Tibetan Plateau is highly uncertain with a ten-
fold difference between various estimates. In a warming world, the potential exists for a large …

Although soil pH is an important indicator of soil quality, the effects of climate change and
anthropogenic activities on soil pH remain controversial. Here, we quantified the potential …

Anthropogenic activities have caused rapid warming globally, particularly in the alpine
regions. The Tibetan Plateau is sensitive to global change and plays an important role in …

Revegetation practices have continued for nearly 20 years in the agro-pastoral ecotone of
