Northern Tibet's Alpine Grasslands Thrive Despite Climate and Grazing Changes.
Alpine grasslands in Northern Tibet are important for the environment and economy. A study looked at how climate and grazing affect grassland desertification. They found that from 2001 to 2015, the grassland conditions improved and desertification areas decreased. Changes in climate and grazing influenced the landscape patterns of the grasslands. Overall, climate changes had positive effects on vegetation coverage, with precipitation being the most significant factor. The grasslands are now more stable and less fragmented, with aridity and grazing playing key roles in shaping the landscape.
