Abstract:
How does interaction of grazing and fencing, as range land management, influence the water balance, soil productivity and C sequestration, carbon and energy fluxes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP)? What happens to Kobresia pygmaea, the most abundant species on the TP covering 450.000 km2, without the traditional grazing habits of nomads? What happens to soil organic carbon which is stored in high altitude soils under different grazing intensities?
