Soil Macropores Affect the Plant Biomass of Alpine Grassland on the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Soil Macropores Affect the Plant Biomass of Alpine Grassland on the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Macropores are an important part of soil structure. However, in alpine regions, the effects of soil macropores on soil properties and vegetation growth are not clear. We used the X-ray computed tomography (CT) method to obtain 3D images and visualize the distribution and morphology of soil macropore...
