Effects of precipitation variation and trampling disturbance on seedling emergence of annual plants in a semi-arid grassland

Precipitation change and grazing are the main factors influencing vegetation structure and dynamics in semi-arid grassland. However, the effects of precipitation variation and livestock trampling on the seedling emergence patterns of plants remain largely unknown. In this study, an experiment with f...
