Differential eco-physiological performance to declining groundwater depth in Central Asian C3 and C4 shrubs in the Gurbantunggut Desert
Resources in water-limited ecosystems are highly variable and unpredictable, and the maintenance of functional diversity among coexisting species is a crucial ecological strategy through which plants mitigate environmental stress. The comparison of differential eco-physiological responses among co-o...
