We applied our own criteria to the case of Peng, Chen and Yang 17 and found a marginal significance ( t = − 1.91, df = 53, P = 0.06) between fencing and grazing.

NRF was marginally significant ( F 2,81 = 2.73, P = 0.07) across the different grassland types, with the highest NRF (mean: 47.19%) in meadow, followed by steppe (mean: 35.20%) and desert steppe (mean: 17.90%; Appendix S2: Table S6 ).
ANPP, BNPP and the root:shoot ratio response to N addition ANPP showed an increasing trend under the influence of N addition during the field experiment, with significant difference between 16 g N m −2 yr −1 N addition and the control in 2011 and 2015 (Appendix S1: Fig.
At a larger scale of TP alpine grassland and IM grassland, the NRF showed a trend of decreasing before reaching N cr (Appendix S2: Fig.
