Poster, 7th Sino-German Workshop on Tibetan Plateau Research, Hamburg: 03.03.2011 - 06.03.2011
Abstract:
There is still a debate if the Kobresia biome on the Tibetan Plateau is human induced or climate driven. Grazing exclosure experiments show a fast replacement of Cyperaceae by Poaceae. This points to a zoo-anthropogenic influenced plant composition. We aimed to find biomarker to distinguish between different grasses and herbs dominating under different conditions.
