Effects of Water and Energy on Plant Diversity along the Aridity Gradient across Dryland in China

Effects of Water and Energy on Plant Diversity along the Aridity Gradient across Dryland in China

Plants need water and energy for their growth and reproduction. However, how water and energy availability influence dryland plant diversity along the aridity gradient in water-limited regions is still lacking. Hence, quantitative analyses were conducted to evaluate the relative importance of water...
