Description
Degradation of Alpine Grasslands on Tibetan Plateau: Assessment, Causes, Consequences, and Restoration summarizes the approaches for assessing the degradation of alpine grasslands, highlighting its effects on vegetation, soil characteristics, water cycles, and ecosystem services. It examines soil carbon and nutrient distribution on the Tibetan Plateau, discusses how degradation impacts nutrient and water cycling, and explores the effects of climate change. The influence of varying moisture conditions on vegetation distribution is also analyzed, along with a quantitative summary of restoration strategies for degraded grasslands. This book serves as a valuable reference for researchers seeking to understand the current state of research in the field of alpine grassland degradation.
