Effects of rodent-induced land degradation on ecosystem carbon fluxes in an alpine meadow in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China

The widespread land degradation in an alpine meadow ecosystem would affect ecosystem carbon (C) balance. Biomass, soil chemical properties and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) of six levels of degraded lands (D1–D6, according to the number of rodent holes and coverage) were investigated t...
