Overgrazing, climate changes, and drainage are the important disturbances and critical environmental problems for Zoig刈 alpine meadow. These factors play an important role in regulating the soil nitrogen ( N) cycle and to some extent influence alpine meadow ecosystem structure and function. In this study, we investigated the effect of grazing intensity on

In recent decades, the carbon ( C) cycle and soil respiration of terrestrial ecosystems have been become hot topics for the global climate change, and research focused on the temperature sensitivity and priming effects of soil microbial respiration ( or soil C mineralization) has increased rapidly since 2000. In this study, we focused on long鄄term fenced Stipa grandis grassland ( FG) and grazing Stipa grandis grassland ( GG) in Inner Mongolia, China, investigating the impact of land鄄use change on the temperature sensitivity and the priming effects of soil microbial respiration by incubating soils in the
