Using Functional Trait Diversity Patterns to Disentangle the Processes Influencing the Recovery of Subalpine Grasslands Following Abandonment of Agricultural Use
Grasslands in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, as in much of the world, are increasingly degrading due to exploitation for agriculture and grazing. Restoring such grasslands or facilitating recolonization to create native late-successional communities requires an understanding of how communities within...
