In China, booming tourism is considered to be a win-win solution to fight both ecosystem degradation and poverty in pastoral areas. However, whether this alternative livelihood can reduce pressure on rangeland and improve livelihood of indigenous peoples has not yet been explored. To examine tourism’s impacts on pastoral communities, we conducted field surveys at Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang and distributed...
Multi-scale features of warm extremes over China from 1961 to 2002 are evaluated using daily minimum and maximum temperature data. Different time scales of regional features of warm extremes are performed using rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) analysis and time scale departure methods. Clearly, significant differences are found in multi-scale of warm extremes. Significant increasing linear...
High arsenic groundwater and associated health risks caused by drinking high-arsenic groundwater are a great headache in many parts of the world, including China. Occurrence and distribution of high arsenic groundwater in China were firstly stated. High arsenic groundwater mainly exists in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Xinjiang et al, 40 counties of 8 provinces. Furthermore, arsenic mobilization processes...
Leaf N and P stoichiometry covaries with many aspects of plant biology, yet the drivers of this trait at biogeographic scales remain uncertain. Recently we reported the patterns of leaf C and N based on systematic census of 213 species over 199 research sites in the grassland biomes of China. With the expanded analysis of leaf P, here we report patterns of leaf P and N:P ratios, and analyze the relative...
Nitrogen (N) and carbon–nitrogen (C:N) ratio are key foliar traits with great ecological importance, but their patterns across biomes have only recently been explored. We conducted a systematic census of foliar C, N and C:N ratio for 213 species, from 41 families over 199 research sites across the grassland biomes of China following the same protocol, to explore how different environmental conditions...
