Response of Soil Respiration to Grazing in an Alpine Meadow at Three Elevations in Tibet

Figure 1

Effects of grazing on soil respiration (𝑅_𝑠, 𝜇mol CO₂ m⁻² s⁻¹) in an alpine meadow located at elevations of 4313 m (a, b), 4513 m (c, d), and 4693 m (e, f) on the Tibetan Plateau in 2010 (a, c, and e) and 2011 (b, d, and f), respectively. Error bars represent standard error (𝑛=4).
