Grassland changes and adaptive management on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Abstract Grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) foster biodiversity, store carbon,
maintain productivity and support pastoral livelihoods. These systems are being altered by …

A meta-analysis of soil extracellular enzyme activities in response to global change
The crucial biogeochemical processes such as carbon and nutrient cycling are increasingly
altered at the ecosystem scale by global environmental changes. Although soil extracellular …

Temperature response of soil respiration largely unaltered with experimental warming
The respiratory release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soil is a major yet poorly understood
flux in the global carbon cycle. Climatic warming is hypothesized to increase rates of soil …

Vegetation degradation impacts soil nutrients and enzyme activities in wet meadow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Vegetation degradation, due to climate change and human activities, changes the biomass,
vegetation species composition, and soil nutrient input sources and thus affects soil nutrient …

Differential responses of carbon‐degrading enzyme activities to warming: Implications for soil respiration
Extracellular enzymes catalyze rate‐limiting steps in soil organic matter decomposition, and
their activities (EEAs) play a key role in determining soil respiration (SR). Both EEAs and SR …

Winter soil freeze-thaw cycles lead to reductions in soil microbial biomass and activity not compensated for by soil warming
PO Sorensen, AC Finzi, MA Giasson… - Soil Biology and …, 2018 - Elsevier
Air temperatures are rising and the winter snowpack is getting thinner in many high-latitude
and high-elevation ecosystems around the globe. Past studies show that soil warming …
