The Tibetan Plateau, 'the third pole', is a region that very sensitive to climate change. A better understanding of response soil microorganisms warming important predict organic matter preservation in future scenario. We selected typically altitudinal gradient (4400 m-5200 m a.s.l) along south-facing slope Nyainqentanglha Mountains on central Plateau. Bacterial communities were investigated using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (T-RFLP) combined with sequencing...
Abstract Although biodiversity and ecosystem functions are strongly shaped by contemporary environments, such as climate local biotic abiotic attributes, relatively little is known about how they depend on long-term geological processes. Here, along a 3000-m elevational gradient with tectonic faults the Tibetan Plateau (that is, Galongla Mountain in Medog County, China), we study joint effects of environments biological communities, diversity community composition plants soil bacteria,...
Large quantities of carbon are stored in alpine grassland the Tibetan Plateau, which is extremely sensitive to climate change. However, it remains unclear whether soil organic matter (SOM) different layers responds change analogously, and microbial communities play vital roles SOM turnover topsoil. In this study we measured collected by 14C method test climatic effects on profiles. Edaphic properties northwestern Qinghai Lake were investigated explore influence turnover. surface (0-10 cm)...
Abstract Soils in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau are young terms of development and form a thin, skeletal soil layer because gravel parent materials glaciofluvial deposit, eluvium, fluvial sediment, which extremely sensitive to global climate change. The lack understanding organic matter (SOM) transformation processes this region hinders prediction SOM stocks under future conditions. In study, were investigated by density groupings pyrolysis‐gas chromatography/tandem‐mass spectrometry...
Nitrogen is a major limiting nutrient for the net primary production of terrestrial ecosystems, especially on sentinel alpine ecosystem. Ammonia oxidation first and rate-limiting step nitrification process thus crucial to nitrogen cycle. To decipher climatic influence ammonia oxidizers, their communities were characterized by qPCR clone sequencing targeting amoA genes (encoding alpha subunit mono-oxygenase) in soils from 7 sites over an 800 m elevation transect (4400–5200 a.s.l.), based...
AbstractThe response of soil microbes to global warming, especially their precipitation, remains poorly known. The Tibetan Plateau is very sensitive climate change. In particular, the northeastern margin an interesting area test microbial communities as there a distinct gradient in annual precipitation from east west. We collected samples along arid and semi-arid areas Plateau. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) technology was used analyze community structure total biomass. With declining...
Branched glycerol dialkyl tetraether (brGDGT) lipids are membrane-spanning of some bacteria that sensitive to environmental gradients, which makes it possible use brGDGT proxies estimate changes in temperatures paleoenvironmental studies. However, the potential niche partitioning brGDGT-producers remains largely unknown and brGDGT-based at middle high latitude sites overestimated. Here we present distributions along an elevation gradient (704–3760 m) southeastern Tibetan Plateau, spanning...
