Description
Ying Yang and co-authors report a 2026 modelling study on where to plant grass species for restoring vegetation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The high plateau faces warming threats, and picking the right restoration species matters. The team modelled six typical grasses with a species distribution tool, adding centre-of-range movement and niche analysis. They tested current and future climate scenarios.
Altitude and yearly rainfall dominated the maps, jointly explaining about half to over four fifths of each species' pattern. Most species' best zones clustered in the northeast plateau. One grass, Elymus nutans, had the largest suitable area and the broadest niche, making it most adaptable. Under warming, most species expanded and shifted westward. High overlap between some species warns of competition if sown together in poor soils. The authors offer the framework as a guide for climate-resilient restoration planting, pending field validation of the mixes.
