The response of plant functional diversity to external disturbances not only effectively predicts changes in the ecosystem but it also reflects how plant communities use external environmental resources.However,resear...
When you think of the yaks of Xizang,whatcomes to mind?Is it their nickname,the"boats of the plateau,"theirdark and imposing presence,orthe fact that every part of the yak is valuable?Beyond thechewy,flavorful beef,ya...
