Alpine grassland productivity not sensitive to climate warming on third pole
April 19, 2018, Chinese Academy of Sciences
The Tibetan Plateau has experienced more rapid climate warming than the global average, coupled with greater inter-annual variation in precipitation over the past 50 years. How will such dramatic climate change influence the structure and function of alpine grasslands? Interest in this topic is high because of its importance to the sustainable development of animal husbandry and the livelihood of Tibetan inhabitants.
In 2011, HE Jinsheng's research team at the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with scientists from Peking University, established a warming-by-precipitation manipulative experiment at the Haibei National Field Research Station of Alpine Grassland Ecosystem.
