Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the tradeoff between carbon uptake and water consumption in terrestrial ecosystems. It remains unclear how responses of WUE to drought vary with severity. We assessed spatio-temporal variations ecosystem its for ecosystems Southwest China over period 2000–2017. The annual values varied vegetation type region: Forests (3.25 gC kg−1H2O) > shrublands (2.00 croplands (1.76 grasslands (1.04 kg−1H2O). During 2000–2017, frequent droughts occurred China,...
Abstract 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, sunshine duration) have affected aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) for all major...
Abstract Soil nutrient contents and organic carbon (C) stability are key indicators for restoration of degraded grassland. However, the effects long‐term active extremely grassland on soil parameters have been equivocal. The aims this study were to evaluate impact alpine on: (a) matter (SOM) mineralization; (b) importance biotic factors temperature sensitivity ( Q 10 ) SOM mineralization. Soils sampled from intact, restored grasslands at altitudes ranging between 3,900 4,200 m Tibetan...
Shrub encroachment can significantly affect the ecosystem structure and functioning of alpine grasslands. However, little is known about how this phenomenon alters soil organic carbon stocks (SOCS) nitrogen (STNS) in different grassland ecosystems within same region. Here we addressed research gap by investigating SOCS STNS encroached non-encroached plots meadow steppe on central Tibetan Plateau. We found that, both ecosystems, shrub increased herbaceous plant richness, diversity,...
Abstract The alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau is highest and largest pasture in world, its formation distribution are mainly controlled by Indian summer monsoon effects. However, little known about how monsoon-related cues may trigger spring phenology of vast vegetation. Based 7-year observations with fenced transplanted experiments across lower to upper limits Kobresia meadows central plateau (4400–5200 m), we found that leaf unfolding dates dominant sedge grass species synchronized...
In this study, a Bayesian-based three-cornered hat (BTCH) method is developed to improve the estimation of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) by integrating multisource ET products without using any priori knowledge. Ten long-term (30 years) gridded datasets from statistical or empirical, remotely-sensed, and land surface models over contiguous United States (CONUS) are integrated BTCH ensemble mean (EM) methods. observations eddy covariance towers (ETEC) at AmeriFlux sites values water...
Precipitation and temperature are major controls on multiple ecosystem functions in alpine grasslands. There is scant evidence for the interactive effects of precipitation changes multifunctionality (EMF) meadows. To explore EMF meadows, we transplanted meadow blocks reciprocally among three altitudes (4,650, 4,950, 5,200 m) central Tibetan Plateau. Compared with home sites (control), has a trend to increase when were downward (experimental warming) high-precipitation but decrease as...
Abstract Shrub encroachment has been rapidly occurring due to climate change, with profound ecological consequences for the alpine meadows of Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Here, we conducted field surveys along a shrub coverage gradient examine effects on structure and functioning meadows' plant communities. Our results showed that overall coverage, density, aboveground biomass, species richness, diversity meadow community gradually declined increasing levels encroachment, especially when...
