Effects of simulated litter inputs on ecological niches and interspecific connectivity of alpine meadow plants
A moderate amount of litter input (F2) is beneficial to the structural stability of alpine meadow ecosystems. Excessive litter inputs may break the original balance of alpine meadow ecosystems and affect plant growth strategies. This study lays a foundation for the conservation of vegetation diversity and long-term use of grassland resources in degraded alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau.
