Sensitive Indicators of Zonal Stipa Species to Changing Temperature and Precipitation in Inner Mongolia Grassland, China
Climate change often induces shifts in plant functional traits. However, knowledge related to sensitivity of different functional traits and sensitive indicator representing plant growth under hydrothermal change remains unclear. Inner Mongolia grassland is predicted to be one of the terrestrial ecosystems which are most vulnerable to climate change. In this study, we analyzed the response of f...
متن کاملAlpha, Beta and Gamma Diversity Differ in Response to Precipitation in the Inner Mongolia Grassland
Understanding the distribution pattern and maintenance mechanism of species diversity along environmental gradients is essential for developing biodiversity conservation strategies under environmental change. We have surveyed the species diversity at 192 vegetation sites across different steppe zones in Inner Mongolia, China. We analysed the total species diversity (γ diversity) and its composi...
متن کاملRestoration of Stipa kryloviisteppes in Inner Mongolia of China: Assesment of seed banks and vegetation composition
The landscapes of Inner Mongolia are widely known for the vast Stipa krylovii steppes. However, overgrazing and other improper land uses have extensively degraded the Stipa krylovii steppe ecosystem in recent decades. Knowledge about the soil seed banks and the remaining vegetation in these damaged ecosystems is crucial for guiding the restoration efforts. Using a germination method, this study...
متن کاملBiomass and Its Allocation in Relation to Temperature, Precipitation, and Soil Nutrients in Inner Mongolia Grasslands, China
AIM Understanding and predicting ecosystem functioning such as biomass accumulation requires an accurate assessment of large-scale patterns of biomass distribution and partitioning in relation to climatic and soil environments. METHODS We sampled above- and belowground biomass from 26 sites spanning 1500 km in Inner Mongolian grasslands, compared the difference in aboveground, belowground bio...
متن کاملLANDSAT SPECTRAL RESPONSES TO GRASSLAND BIOPHYSICAL CONDITIONS ACROSS A GRADIENT IN INNER MONGOLIA, CHINA by
To investigate the potential of using Landsat imagery to detect grassland biophysical conditions, in particular biomass and biodiversity, harvested aboveground biomass and biodiversity were recorded along an ecological gradient in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR), China. Simultaneously vegetation spectral signatures were recorded by an analytical spectral device (ASD) Fieldspec 3 spectro...
