Abstract Grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) foster biodiversity, store carbon,
maintain productivity and support pastoral livelihoods. These systems are being altered by …

Abstract The Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayan system, named the Third Pole because it
is the largest global store of frozen water after the polar regions, provides a reliable water …

Abstract The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) has experienced atmospheric warming,
cryosphere thaw and intensified human activities since the 1970s. These changes have had …

Intense grazing may lead to grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but it is
difficult to predict where this will occur and to quantify it. Based on a process-based …

Simple Summary Microorganisms and their enzymes are crucial to ensuring soil quality,
health, and carbon sequestration. Their numerous reactions are essential for …

Abstract The Third Pole (TP) is experiencing rapid warming and is currently in its warmest
period in the past 2,000 years. This paper reviews the latest development in multidisciplinary …

Increasing phosphorus (P) inputs induced by anthropogenic activities have increased P
availability in soils considerably, with dramatic effects on carbon (C) cycling and storage …

The structure and function of alpine grassland ecosystems, including their extensive soil
carbon stocks, are largely shaped by temperature. The Tibetan Plateau in particular has …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) in coastal wetlands, also known as “blue C,” is an essential
component of the global C cycles. To gain a detailed insight into blue C storage and …

Anthropogenic climate change has emerged as a critical environmental problem, prompting
frequent investigations into its consequences for various ecological systems. Few studies …
