Abstract:The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, a fragile ecosystem with unique biodiversity, is particularly susceptible to soil contamination from increasing anthropogenic activities like grazing and farming. However, research exploring the relationship between these factors remains limited. Our study examines soil changes and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) after converting alpine meadows, providing insight into the impact of land‐use in this area. We found significant differences in the concentrations of PTEs (Cd, Cr, Hg, an… Show more
