Changes in functional traits and diversity of typical alpine grasslands after a short-term trampling disturbance
Alpine grassland ecosystem supports high diversity of terrestrial flora and fauna species. Despite the ecological importance and economic potential of this unique ecosystem type, it experiences increasing anthropogenic disturbances such as trampling, which impose negative impact on the health and in...
