Extended Data Fig. 1: Overview of the study site and design of the warming experiment.

From: Progressive decline in soil nitrogen stocks with warming in a Tibetan permafrost ecosystem

Extended Data Fig. 1

a, The field warming experiment was established within a 50 × 50 m fenced area in June 2013 (photo credit: Bin Wei). b, Design of open-top chamber warming devices. The manipulative warming experiment followed a paired design and comprised ten 4 × 4 m blocks. In each block, a hexagonal open-top chamber and a 0.8 × 1.2 m plot were diagonally arranged as the warming and control plot, respectively. The warming device elevated topsoil temperature by an average of 1.3 °C over the past decade. See Supplementary Fig. 1 for details.
