Leaf adaptation strategy of non-tree plants altered by community structure implies vegetation degradation risk in alpine rocky desertification areas

Abstract In alpine rocky desertification areas, environmental stress poses challenges to vegetation restoration and protection. Merely observing the changes in specific leaf area driven by environmental factors may overlook the risk of non-tree vegetation degradation. The leaf resource allocation st...
