Land use change affects soil aggregate composition and stability, which impacts structure health. To reveal how land impacted aggregates of alpine grassland in a high-altitude watershed, samples from 161 sites including grassland, cropland abandoned were selected to measure analyze the distribution fractions (macro-aggregates, micro-aggregates, silt+clay), stability (mean weight diameter, geome...

Considering that the relationships between agrometeorological drought indices and impact of agricultural in Slovenia are not yet well understood, aim this study was to make an indicative evaluation success selected indices, addressing topsoil layer vegetation condition, detecting agriculture. In study, performance two established indices—the SPEI (standardised precipitation evapotranspiration i...

Kobresia pygmaea is the endemic and one of most important species in alpine meadow Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It key stage management degraded grassland, irreversible degradation will take place after succession phases community. However, knowledge about spatial distribution driving factors were still unknown. In this study, potential community was determined using BIOMOD niche model. Combine with ...
