Because this biome is so widespread in many sorts of locations around the world, there are further subdivisions that can more accurately describe each grassland area. Types of Grasslands There are three general subdivisions of grasslands are savannas, temperate grasslands and steppes. Each of these a...
World Biomes: There are about 8 terrestrial biomes although some classification systems subdivide these into smaller categories. These biomes can often be found at various locations around the world because they're created by the climate of the region. ...
The three-year study monitored real-world grasslands at 41 locations on five continents. Fertilizers destabilize natural grasslands Tallgrass prairie, that once covered a vast portion of the Midwestern United States (Midwest), has been reduced to less than 4% of its original area (Samson and Knopf...
Moreover, even within the Tibetan Plateau or Inner Mongolian Plateau, grasslands tend to degrade more severely in western locations (Fig. 3a). These phenomena implies a zonal regularity following a longitudinal gradient. Various environmental variables (e.g., climate, topography, soil properties) ...
Desertification is a type of land degradation that occurs in arid, semi-arid, and sub-humid regions due to the synthetic action of climatic variations and human activities1. Governments around the world have publicly regard desertification as a serious threat (approximately 32% of the world’s po...

Introduction An accurate account of the terrestrial carbon budget is important to understand global climate change and make regional carbon management policies [1]. However, the...

respectively. The basic information for each elevation zone is shown inTable 1. Within each elevation band, one 20 m × 20 m sample plot was established if the elevation increased by 30 m (Figure 1). One 1 m × 1 m grass sample plot was set up at five locations, in the corners and...
The regions with a delayed SOS were mainly concentrated in the higher-altitude regions in the southwest (38.31%). The temperature, precipitation and SOS exhibited a reverse fluctuation trend around the midpoint of 2010. Precipitation affected the SOS earlier than temperature. When temperature became ...
Nevertheless, the EC technique is expensive, subject to data gaps, and limited to relatively flat, large landscape regions, so cannot offer universal sampling of fluxes for all locations. Remote sensing and proximal optical sampling methods can provide cost-effective, uniform sampling under conditions...
