Ecosystem stability and compensatory effects in the Inner Mongolia grassland
TLDR
The study provides new insights for better management and restoration of the rapidly degrading Inner Mongolia grassland and corroborate some previous findings of compensatory effects.

Tradeoffs and thresholds in the effects of nitrogen addition on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: evidence from inner Mongolia Grasslands
TLDR
It is suggested that the critical threshold for N-induced species loss to mature Eurasian grasslands is below 1.75gNm � 2 yr � 1, and that changes in aboveground biomass, species richness, and plant functional group composition to both mature and degraded ecosystems saturate at N addition rates of approximately 10.5 gNm� 2 yr� 1.

Primary production and rain use efficiency across a precipitation gradient on the Mongolia Plateau.
TLDR
The results clearly indicate that the patterns of both ANPP and RUE are scale dependent, and the seemingly conflicting patterns of RUE in space vs. time suggest distinctive underlying mechanisms, involving interactions among precipitation, soil N, and biotic factors.

Grazing alters ecosystem functioning and C:N:P stoichiometry of grasslands along a regional precipitation gradient
Summary 1. The Eurasian steppe has long been subject to grazing by domestic ungulates at high levels, resulting in widespread deterioration of biodiversity and ecosystem services. While abundant…

Carbon pools in China’s terrestrial ecosystems: New estimates based on an intensive field survey
TLDR
The results update the estimates of carbon pools in China’s terrestrial ecosystems based on direct field measurements, essential to the validation and parameterization of carbon models in China and globally.

Grassland responses to grazing: effects of grazing intensity and management system in an Inner Mongolian steppe ecosystem
The major aims of this study were, firstly, to analyse the grazing-induced steppe degradation process and, secondly, to identify an efficient and sustainable grazing management system for the widely…

Plant diversity enhances productivity and soil carbon storage
TLDR
The results presented here show that favorable climate conditions, particularly high precipitation, tend to increase both species richness and belowground biomass, which had a consistent positive effect on SOC storage in forests, shrublands, and grasslands.

Linking stoichiometric homoeostasis with ecosystem structure, functioning and stability.
TLDR
It is shown that species-level stoichiometric homoeostasis was consistently positively correlated with dominance and stability on both 2-year and 27-year temporal scales and across a 1200-km spatial transect.
