DOI: 10.1007/s11258-020-01039-8
Abstract: Plants often exhibit positive responses to multiple nutrient additions, but generalities about the life form and traits of the most responsive species are few. Findings from long-term experiments in dry meadow alpine tundra in Colorado,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2019.114148
Abstract: Abstract The effects of restoration on plant communities and soil nutrients have been extensively studied but knowledge of the metabolic requirements of microbial communities is limited, especially in fragile alpine meadow ecosystems. Here, vegetation and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-82065-y
Abstract: Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya, despite low primary productivity, store considerable amount of organic carbon. However, these ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate warming which may stimulate ecosystem carbon efflux leading to carbon-loss and positive… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.824296
Abstract: Precipitation and temperature are major controls on multiple ecosystem functions in alpine grasslands. There is scant evidence for the interactive effects of temperature and precipitation changes on the ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) in alpine meadows. To… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11212893
Abstract: An ecosystem can provide multiple functions and services at the same time, i.e., ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). Above- and belowground biodiversity and abiotic factors have different effects on EMF. Human activities increase atmospheric nitrogen (N) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.5846/stxb201608031598
Abstract: Mattic epipedon, which has important ecological benefits such as water retention and soil conservation, plays a pivotal role in the ecological function of alpine meadows. Therefore, exploring the relationships between the mattic epipedon and environmental… read more here.
