Plateau zokor mounds, created by the burrowing activity of Plateau zokor, cause significant damage to crops, grasslands, and infrastructure, particularly in the alpine meadows of the Tibetan Plateau. Traditional field surveys are inefficient and labo...
Lakes across the globe are experiencing growing ecological pressure from climate change and human activities. In prairie regions, these pressures often result in shifts in phytoplankton abundance, a key indicator of water quality. Yet identifying the...
The biodiversity function of the desert steppe ecosystem faces many challenges under the pressure of climate change and human activities. Accurate and efficient assessment of plant diversity is critical for guiding desert steppe restoration efforts. ...
Satellite evidence indicates a significant phenological changes in alpine vegetation. However, the effect of phenological changes on vegetation gross primary productivity (GPP) is still poorly understood, which limits understanding of climate changes...

In order to understand the role of horses in ecosystems and to effectively use their grazing in the protection of grasslands, it is important to assess where they primarily stay, followed by whether these habitats are used for grazing or resting. The...
Grassland sheep counting is essential for both animal husbandry and ecological balance. Accurate population statistics help optimize livestock management and sustain grassland ecosystems. However, traditional counting methods are time-consuming and c...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

Soil acidification poses escalating threats to ecosystem functions, yet its spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers across vulnerable high-altitude regions remain poorly resolved. Here, we integrate four-decade soil surveys (1980s-2020s) with machine lea...
Environmental monitoring and assessment

The grassland ecosystem forms a critical part of the natural ecosystem, covering up to 15-26% of the Earth's land surface. Grassland significantly impacts the carbon cycle and climate regulation by storing carbon dioxide. The organic matter found in ...
As the call for an international standard for milk from grassland-based production systems continues to grow, so too do the monitoring and evaluation policies surrounding this topic. Individual stipulations by countries and milk producers to market t...
As a terrestrial ecosystem, alpine grasslands feature diverse vegetation types and play key roles in regulating water resources and carbon storage, thus shaping global climate. The dynamics of soil nutrients in this ecosystem, responding to regional ...
