Abstract

Climate change and human activities are the main causes of global grassland degradation in the alpine regions. An increase in temperature and precipitation reduces the adaptability of meadow vegetation and affects grassland stability. However, there is a lack of controlled experimental evidence of grassland degradation caused by climate change.
