摘要： Rapid climate warming is altering multiple ecosystem functions of alpine grasslands. However, the responses of the above- and belowground ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) to climate warming might exhibit difference in semi-arid alpine grasslands. Based on manipulative field experiments at an alpine meadow and an alpine steppe, we explored warming effects on the functioning of alpine grassland ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau. Warming significantly decreased plant diversity and aboveground biomass, but tended to increase belowground biomass, soil carbon, and soil nutrient contents. Experimental warming generally had neutral effects on the EMF of both alpine grasslands. Nevertheless, warming differentially affects the above- and belowground ecosystem functioning of Tibetan semi-arid alpine grasslands, with the aboveground EMF (AEMF) deceased but the belowground EMF (BEMF) increased under warmer conditions. Our results further showed that the negative effect of experimental warming on AEMF was mainly regulated by the changes of plant and soil biodiversity. However, plant productivity had a pivotal role in propelling the positive effect of warming on BEMF. Our results emphasized the potential impacts of plant and soil biodiversity, productivity, and soil nutrients in maintaining the EMF of alpine grasslands, which could offer novel views for sustainable management of Tibetan semi -arid alpine ecosystems.
