Responses of bacterial community composition and diversity to multi-level nitrogen addition at different periods of growing season driven by conditional rare taxa in an alpine meadow
Rare species can switch between abundant and rare, respond to various external disturbances, enhance community resilience, and reduce the lag in ecosystem recovery. However, the impact of N enrichment on micro...

Temperature leads to annual changes of plant community composition in alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
In most grassland ecosystems, the effects of mean temperature increase on plant communities have been investigated; however, the effects of climate fluctuations on local plant community metrics are much less w...

Open AccessResponse of aboveground biomass and diversity to nitrogen addition along a degradation gradient in the Inner Mongolian steppe, China
Although nitrogen addition and recovery from degradation can both promote production of grassland biomass, these two factors have rarely been investigated in combination. In this study, we established a field ...
