Abstract
⺠Active soil water and temperature dynamics were altered by changes in the vegetation cover of alpine grasslands. ⺠Changes in vegetation cover had reciprocal effects on soil thermal and water dynamics in alpine swamps and meadows. ⺠Higher vegetation cover reduced the annual variation of soil moisture and temperature. ⺠Soil water-heat coupling in areas with different amounts of vegetation cover followed a Boltzmann function. ⺠The impacts of vegetation cover on DT varied by season and grassland type.
