The impacts of climate change and human activities on biogeochemical cycles on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (2013, background): “Moreover, significant changes have occurred as a result of the simultaneous increase in human and livestock populations: overgrazing, fertilization to improve forage production (Niu et al., 2009), rangeland privatization (Yan & Wu, 2005), and sedentarization of the formerly nomadic peoples (Lu et al”
Grazing‐induced shifts in community functional composition and soil nutrient availability in Tibetan alpine meadows (2016, background): “For example, under continuous grazing, grassland plants often decrease individual size (Diaz et al. 2007b) and biomass allocation to vegetative growth (Niu et al. 2009), but enrich foliar nutrient concentrations (Bai et al. 2012) due to regrowth and shifts in nutrient allocation.”
Fertilization decreases species diversity but increases functional diversity: A three-year experiment in a Tibetan alpine meadow (2014, methodology): “Previous studies in Tibetan grasslands showed that fertilization increased aboveground biomass, and decreased SD due to increased competition for both light and nutrients (Luo et al., 2006; Niu et al., 2008, 2009; Li et al., 2011) or water limitation (Bagchi and Ritchie, 2010).”
