| Abstract | High-resolution sampling, measurements of organic carbon contents and $^{14}$C signatures of selected four soil profiles in the Haibei Station situated on the northeast Tibetan Plateau, and application of $^{14}$C tracing technology were conducted in an attempt to investigate the turnover times of soil organic carbon and the soil-CO$_{2}$ flux in the alpine meadow ecosystem. The results show that the organic carbon stored in the soils varies from 22.12×10$^{4}$ kg C hm$^{−2}$ to 30.75×10$^{4}$ kg C hm$^{−2}$ in the alpine meadow ecosystems, with an average of 26.86×10$^{4}$ kg C hm$^{−2}$. Turnover times of organic carbon pools increase with depth from 45 a to 73 a in the surface soil horizon to hundreds of years or millennia or even longer at the deep soil horizons in the alpine meadow ecosystems. The soil-CO$_{2}$ flux ranges from 103.24 g C m$^{−2}$ a$^{−1}$ to 254.93 gC m$^{−2}$ a$^{−1}$, with an average of 191.23 g C m$^{−2}$ a$^{−1}$. The CO$_{2}$ efflux produced from microbial decomposition of organic matter varies from 73.3 g C m$^{−2}$ a$^{−1}$ to 181 g C m$^{−2}$ a$^{−1}$. More than 30% of total soil organic carbon resides in the active carbon pool and 72.8%281.23% of total CO$_{2}$ emitted from organic matter decomposition results from the topsoil horizon (from 0 cm to 10 cm) for the Kobresia meadow. Responding to global warming, the storage, volume of flow and fate of the soil organic carbon in the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Tibetan Plateau will be changed, which needs further research. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
