Abstract Accurately quantifying evapotranspiration (ET) is crucial to fully understanding regional water resource management and potential feedbacks climate change in alpine grasslands. The quantitative relationships between ET environmental controls were investigated by a continuous eddy covariance dataset from June 2014 December 2016 over an Kobresia meadow on the northeastern Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. results showed that daily averaged 1.7± 1.5 mm/day (Mean ± 1 S.D.), with values of 2.9...
Grazing is an important modulator of both plant productivity and biodiversity in grassland community, yet how to determine a suitable grazing intensity alpine still controversy. Here, we explore the effects different intensities on biomass species composition, at community level functional group level, examines productivity-species richness relationship under four patterns: no (CK), light (LG), moderate grazing, (MG) heavy (HG), attempt grassland. The results were as follows. total...
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is particularly sensitive to global climate change, especially elevated temperatures, when compared with other ecosystems. However, few studies use long-term field measurements explore the interannual variations in plant biomass under fluctuations. Here, we examine of within two vegetation types (alpine meadow and alpine shrub) during 2008-2017 their relationships variables. following results were obtained. aboveground (AGB) belowground (BGB) response...
Alpine grassland has very important water conservation function. Grassland degradation seriously affects the function; moreover, there is little understanding of change state during restoration. Our study aims to bridge this gap and improve our changes in soil moisture restoration process. In study, storage, vegetation, meteorology a non-degradation (grazing intensity 7.5 sheep/ha) severely degraded 12-18 were monitored Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for seven consecutive years. We used correlation,...
The alpine grassland ecosystem can sequester a large quantity of carbon, yet its significance remains controversial owing to uncertainties in the relative contributions climate factors and grazing intensity. In this study we surveyed 115 sites measure carbon storage (both biomass soil) over Qinghai Plateau during peak growing season 2011 2012. Our results revealed three key findings. (1) Total density ranged from 0.04 for steppe 2.80 kg C m-2 meadow. Median soil organic (SOC) was estimated...
Abstract Aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground (BGB) allocation productivity–richness relationship are controversial. Here, we assessed AGB BGB the at community level across four grassland types based on data collected from 80 sites Qinghai Plateau during 2011–2012. The reduced major axis regression general linear models were used showed that (a) median values of significantly higher in alpine meadow than other three types; ratio root to shoot (R/S) was desert (36.06) intemperate...
Grassland ecosystems are experiencing increasing perturbations from climate change and anthropogenic activities, which often cause vegetation fragmentation grassland degradation. Although individual ecosystem functions have been extensively investigated in the degradation processes, multiple rarely evaluated. Moreover, little is known on how species richness functional compositions associated with functions, such contribute to multifunctionality during fragmentation. In this study, 14...
Abstract Alpine grassland ecosystems are thought to be the most sensitive climate change, yet responses of their belowground biomass and potential climatic controls poorly understood. Thirteen‐year (2004 ‐ 2016) time‐series observational data environmental factors were analysed in a humid alpine Kobresia meadow on Northern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Results showed that mean air temperature increased by 0.44°C from 2004 2016, while annual precipitation remained relatively stable. The across all...
