Effects of grazing on leaf traits and ecosystem functioning in Inner Mongolia grasslands: scaling from species to community

Understanding the mechanistic links between environmental drivers, human disturbance, plant functional traits, and ecosystem properties is a fundamental aspect of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research. Recent studies have focused mostly on leaf-level traits or community-level weighted traits t...
