Description
Ngawang Norbu and co-authors report a 2026 survey of white birch forests in the Nyang River Basin on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Plots ranged across a wide band of elevation. The study examines how woody plant variety changes with height and soil conditions.
Field teams recorded dozens of woody species across the survey plots and sorted the stands into four plant groupings. Richness and diversity measures fell as elevation rose, while dominance by a few species increased. Statistical analysis pointed to elevation plus soil nitrogen, organic matter, and phosphorus as the main influences on community makeup. The results give managers baseline data for protecting alpine forest under climate change.
