Interactive effects of warming and increased precipitation on community structure and composition in an annual forb dominated desert steppe.

To better understand how warming, increased precipitation and their interactions influence community structure and composition, a field experiment simulating hydrothermal interactions was conducted at an annual forb dominated desert steppe in northern China over 2 years. Increased precipitation incr...
