Plant species α-diversity is closely correlated with ecosystem structures and functions.
However, whether climate change and human activities will reduce plant species α-diversity …

Massive grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) provide vital ecosystems
services, which have been decreased by land degradation associated with global change …

This study comprehensively analyzed 3666 sets of experimental data through meta-analysis
based on 161 published studies to quantitatively assess the effect of different restoration …

Biodiversity serves as the fundamental underpinning for ecosystem functions and services.
As a result of human‐induced global change, there is a growing awareness of the …

Lost soil organic carbon (SOC) in degraded grasslands can be restored via the 'grazing
exclusion'practice, but it was unknown how long (# of years) the restoration process can …

Climate change and land-use disturbances are supposed to have severely affected the
degraded alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. Artificial grassland establishment has …

Livestock grazing, the main type of management activity in grasslands drives the structure
and function of these ecosystems. However, the responses of soil microbial biomass and …

In soil, multiple nutrients are cycled simultaneously (multinutrient cycling), rather than a
single measurable process. While the impact of litter decomposition on individual soil …

Impacts of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on soil carbon (C) dynamics are highly
variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This limits our ability to predict soil …

Soil supports and maintains all life systems on the planet, but society has used it in a way
that depletes and degrades it, affecting soil quality. Based on a systemic review of …
