Freeze-thaw process induced by increased precipitation affects root growth of alpine steppe on the Tibetan Plateau
The response of vegetation productivity to precipitation is becoming a worldwide concern. Most reports on responses of vegetation to precipitation trends are based on the growth season. In the soil freeze/thaw...

C:N:P stoichiometry of perennial herbs’ organs in the alpine steppe of the northern Tibetan Plateau
The patterns of C:N:P stoichiometry across ecosystems are important in understanding biogeochemical processes. The stoichiometry of nutrients at the leaf and root level have been reported previously, but relat...

Global patterns in above-ground net primary production and precipitation-use efficiency in grasslands
The above-ground net primary production (ANPP) and the precipitation-use efficiency (PUE) regulate the carbon and water cycles in grassland ecosystems, but the relationships among the ANPP, PUE and precipitati...

Impacts of warming on root biomass allocation in alpine steppe on the north Tibetan Plateau
Biomass is an important component of global carbon cycling and is vulnerable to climate change. Previous studies have mainly focused on the responses of aboveground biomass and phenology to warming, while stud...

Variation in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus partitioning between above- and belowground biomass along a precipitation gradient at Tibetan Plateau
Precipitation is a potential factor that significantly affects plant nutrient pools by influencing biomass sizes and nutrient concentrations. However, few studies have explicitly dissected carbon (C), nitrogen...
