Heavy Grazing Alters Soil Microbial Diversity, Fertility, and Biomass in Asian Grasslands
Grazing is one of the main causes of grassland degradation, yet its impact on soil microbial diversity, fertility, and biomass remains insufficiently quantified globally. Here, we conducted a meta‐analysis of 48 independent field studies from Asian grasslands to evaluate the effects of heavy grazing on soil microbial communities, soil fertility, and plant biomass. Our results revealed that heavy grazing consistently decreased bacterial richness s…
Improving herders’ income through alpine grassland husbandry on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Effects of Urbanization on Ecosystem Services in the Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration, in China
Ecosystem services are the material basis of economic and social development, and play essential roles in the sustainable development of ecosystems. Urbanization can remarkably alter the provision of ecosystem services. Most studies in this area have focused on densely populated metropolises with poor ecological environments, while comparatively few studies have focused on cities with low ecological pressures. Therefore, to avoid continuing to en…
Spatiotemporal Variation Characteristics of Ecosystem Service Losses in the Agro-Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China
Being subject to climate change and human intervention, the land-use pattern in the agro-pastoral ecotone of Northern China has undergone complex changes over the past few decades, which may jeopardize the provision of ecosystem services. Thus, for sustainable land management, ecosystem services should be evaluated and monitored. In this study, based on Landsat TM/ETM data, we quantitatively evaluated the losses of ecosystem service values (ESV) …
Climate control of terrestrial carbon exchange across biomes and continents
Understanding the relationships between climate and carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems \nis critical to predict future levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide because of the potential \naccelerating effects of positive climate–carbon cycle feedbacks. However, directly observed \nrelationships between climate and terrestrial CO2 exchange with the atmosphere across biomes \nand continents are lacking. Here we present data describing the relatio…
Status and Dynamics of the Kobresia pygmaea Ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau
This paper provides information about the distribution, structure, and ecology of the world's largest alpine ecosystem, the Kobresia pygmaea pastures in the southeastern Tibetan plateau. The environmental importance of these Cyperaceae mats derives from the extremely firm turf, which protects large surfaces against erosion, including the headwaters of the Huang He, Yangtze, Mekong, Salween, and Brahmaputra. The emphasis of the present article is …
