Erratic precipitation and clipping frequency reshape the community structure and species stability of Leymus chinensis steppe

Erratic precipitation and clipping frequency reshape the community structure and species stability of Leymus chinensis steppe

Leymus chinensis steppe is subject to degradation under the combined stresses of climate change and human disturbance. This study aimed to determine the independent and compound effects of precipitation and clipping frequency on the community structure and species temporal stability of L. chinensis...
