Plant nitrogen retention in alpine grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau under multi-level nitrogen addition

Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition might alleviate degradation of alpine grassland caused by N limitation on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). To determine such limitation and quantify the N-induced N retention in plant, a six-year fertilization experiment with six levels of N addition rates (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 an...
