- Authors
Yang, Xiao-Dong; Wu, Nai-Cheng; Gong, Xue-Wei
- Abstract
Luo and Gong [[9]] investigated the diversity of desert shrub communities and evaluated the relationship between species diversity indexes and key climatic variables across 29 sites in Xinjiang, northwestern China. Liu et al. [[11]] explored the scale effects of the biodiversity-ecosystem multifunctionality relationship of representative desert plant communities in the southern margin of the Taklimakan Desert. Arid and semi-arid lands cover more than one-third of the earth's terrestrial area and are typically characterized by rainfall scarcity, higher temperatures and evapotranspiration, salinization, nutrient-poor soil, and a paucity of vegetation cover.
