Community-weighted mean traits but not functional diversity determine the changes in soil properties during wetland drying on the Tibetan Plateau
Climate change and human activities have caused a shift in vegetation composition and soil biogeochemical cycles of alpine wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau. The primary goal of this study was to test for associations between community-weighted mean (CWM) traits, functional diversity, and soil propert...
