Summary Within a community, species may germinate at different times so as to mitigate competition and take advantage of aspects the seasonal environment (temporal niche differentiation). We illustrated hypothesis combined effects abiotic biotic competitive factors on germination timing subsequent upscale community assembly. estimated ( GT ) for 476 angiosperm eastern T ibetan P lateau grasslands under two light treatments in field: high (i.e. natural) low light. also measured shift SGT...

Abstract Very few studies have examined whether the impacts of grazing disturbance on soil seed banks occur directly or indirectly through aboveground vegetation and properties. The potential role bank in alpine wetland restoration is also unknown. We used SEM (structural equation modeling) to explore direct effect indirect studied wetlands with various intensities: low (fenced, winter grazed only), medium (seasonally grazed), high (whole‐year grazed). For bank, species richness density per...

Elevation, as a comprehensive ecological variable, is considered one of the decisive factors in distribution pattern plants region. We explored changes functional traits and biomass accumulation allocation Gentiana lawrenceni along an elevational gradient their relationships. found that leaf size specific area (SLA) this species showed trend first increasing then decreasing with elevation, while thickness dry matter content (LDMC) increasing. As elevation increases, aboveground biomass,...

ABSTRACT Smoking and high‐altitude (HA) exposure both adversely affect human health, with smoking linked to various cancers environments causing physiological neurological changes. Although the effects of HA on brain structure function have been studied separately, their combined impact is still rarely explored. This study aims investigate interactive intrinsic activity using resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs‐fMRI) analysed by amplitude low‐frequency fluctuations (ALFF)...

Abstract Plants can adapt to environmental changes by adjusting their functional traits and biomass allocation. The size number of flowers are related plant reproduction. Life history theory predicts that there is a trade‐off between flower number, the potentially explain adaptability plants. Elevation gradients in mountains provide unique opportunity test how plants will respond climate change. In this study, we tried better alpine Gentiana lawrencei var. farreri response We measured...

Human appropriation of net primary productivity (HANPP) is an important indicator for assessing ecological sustainability. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics HANPP in Qinghai grasslands remain unclear. In this study, we used spatially explicit Biome-BGCMuSo model to quantify and map from 1979 2018. Generally, actual (NPPact) was slightly lower than potential (NPPpot), difference between NPPpot NPPact increased over time. From 2001, were relatively stable; however, 2001 2018, both showed...

Sinadoxa corydalifolia is a perennial grass with considerable academic value as rare species owing to habitat destruction and narrow distribution. However, its distribution remains unclear. In this study, we predicted the of in three-river region (the source Yangtze River, Yellow Lancang River) under context climate change using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model. Under current scenario, suitable mainly occurred Yushu County Nangqian County. The area covered 3107 km2, accounting for 0.57%...

Estimating the grassland carbon budget is critically important for ensuring that resources are used sustainably. However, spatiotemporal dynamics of and response to grazing have not yet been characterized in Qinghai grasslands. Here, we estimated gross primary productivity (GPP) net ecosystem exchange (NEE) grasslands using improved Biome-BGCMuSo model characterize this region from 1979 2018. The GPP fluctuated during study period, with an average annual value 118.78 gC/m 2 . NEE 2018, −5.16...

Abstract Germination timing is a key transition of life history. It not only links subsequent life-history traits, such as plant height and flowering time, but also provides link to the previous generation through influence maternal environment. Environmental factors may mediate these links, consequences this process species regeneration dispersal. However, little known about how environmental links. Here, germination under high (natural light) low light treatments was estimated for 476...

It is widely assumed that seed mass, as a proxy of both dispersability and competitiveness, can affect community composition diversity. Numerous studies have validated the influence mass at interspecific level. However, little known about patterns among-population variation in (APVSM), which may species' persistence under climate change. We characterized naturally occurring among populations across 190 Tibetan plant species (2503 populations). tested for relationships between APVSM...

Global warming can cause variation in plant functional traits due to phenotypic plasticity or rapid microevolutionary change. Seed mass represents a fundamental axis of trait plants, from an individual community scale. Here, we hypothesize that long-term shift the mean seed species.We tested our hypothesis plots had been warmed over 18 years alpine meadow communities with history light grazing (LG) and heavy (HG) on Qinghai-Tibet plateau. In this study, seeds were collected during growing...
