Aims Vast grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau are almost all under livestock grazing.It is unclear,however,what is the role that the grazing will play in carbon cycle of the grassland under future climate warming.We fou...
Aims and Methods Vascular plants are known to influence the production,transport and oxidation of methane in wetland soils,but these processes are not well understood.using plants grown in intact peat cores,we compare...
