Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) bioturbation affects the soil nutrient concentrations of
the alpine meadow in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) by the arrangement of bare land …

Not only do browsing and grazing ungulates impact aboveground vegetation, they also have
a strong impact on soil biota and nutrient cycling. Changes in belowground properties and …

Most of Earth's terrestrial carbon is stored in the soil and can be released as carbon dioxide
