Disentangling the influence of climate, soil and belowground microbes on local species richness in a dryland ecosystem of Northwest China
Abstract Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) covers one of the largest drylands in the world, while the relative effects of different environmental factors on plant diversity are poorly understood. We sampled 66 sites in a typical dryland of XUAR, which covers more than 450,000 km2, to evaluate...
