Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Species richness and plant coverage at 3500 m were significantly higher than at other altitudes in the Gannan alpine meadow.
- Association Single and multi-functional richness, functional evenness and Rao's quadratic entropy were significantly positively correlated with soil temperature, soil water content and soil bulk density.
- Association Single and multi-functional richness, functional evenness and Rao's quadratic entropy were significantly negatively correlated with soil pH and soil conductivity.
- Association Functional diversity was significantly positively related to ecosystem multifunctionality within a large threshold range (6%-89%).
- Association Multi-functional richness index was significantly positively related to ecosystem multifunctionality.
- Association Multi-functional richness was the main driving factor of ecosystem multifunctionality.
- Association Functional richness had the most significant impact on ecosystem multifunctionality of alpine meadow in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
