Evaluation of Soil Fertility in Alpine Shrub Communities of the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China

Evaluation of Soil Fertility in Alpine Shrub Communities of the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China

Understanding soil fertility is significant for the restoration and scientific management of shrub vegetation in the Qilian Mountains. This study focused on the soils associated with five common alpine shrub species—<i>Salix gilashanica</i>, <i>Potentilla fruticosa</i>, <i...
