Li-Li Zheng et al. assessed the effects of #SoilNutrientHeterogeneity on plant productivity in natural communities ( #AlpineGrassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau).

Map of the study area, experimental layout and before and after rest-grazing of StM and SwM.

Min Zhang et al. explored the response of #Rest-grazingInspring to #SoilMicrobialCommunities and its potential driving factors.

The sketch map of soil samples transplanted across altitudes in Haibei grassland ecosystems of the QTP.

Xikang Hou et al. found that high #Altitudes generally led to low values of #NitrogenMineralizationRate in #AlpineGrassland, nitrogen mineralization rate along the altitude was mainly controlled by soil temperature.

Conceptual diagram showing responses of flowering dates and number to warming rates for different flowering functional groups in the community.

Bowen Li et al. conducted a #WarmingExperiment and #PrecipitationAddition in an #AlpineGrassland for four years. The results showed that a change in precipitation has a greater effect than warming on the community flowering phenology in the semi-arid alpine grassland.
