Grazing Significantly Increases N2O Emission Rates in Alpine Meadows of the Tibetan Plateau

Alpine meadows are robust nitrous oxide (N2O) sources that continually experience overgrazing on the Tibetan Plateau. However, the mechanisms underlying N2O fluxes are poorly understood. The effects of grazing activity on grassland N2O emission rates, soil and plant characteristics were investigated...
