“…Second, the inclusion of additional functional traits, such as foliar profile, representing the vertical dimensions of forest structure, remains a promising area for additional studies. Further, the considerable unexplained variance found in this study suggests that other unmeasured factors (e.g., the abundance of herbivores and pathogens, soil properties) may play a greater role in determining species richness in these forests (Xiong et al, , ).…”

“…Our results indicate that environmental factors have direct effects related to increasing plant community species richness and abundance. Precipitation has been reported to promote the richness of trees and shrubs, and increasing MAT elevated the richness of shrubs in subalpine mountains as well as grasslands (Chu et al, ; Lin, Xia, & Wan, ; Xiong et al, ). The results from the SEMs showed that MAT may decrease the tree canopy and indirectly inhibit tree diversity (Figure ).…”

“…When comparing census data, which is related to human activity (e.g., stocking rate) and grassland production, in most cases an existing relationship was revealed [97]. Compared to the influence of climate, human activity was found to have a larger [119] or a smaller [115,122,123] influence on grassland production.…”

“…However, the timescales of sensitiveness of grassland production to precipitation varied among different grasslands from daily to monthly and seasonal [117]. Temperature was mostly negatively correlated to grassland production [118,119]. In addition, the influence of temperature on grassland production was found to change during the season, with the highest effects at the beginning of the growing season [120].…”

“…The average annual temperature is between −5.4 and 4.2°C. The annual precipitation gradually decreases from 770 mm•a −1 in the southeast to 260 mm•a −1 in the northwest, so the climatic showed significant regional differences (Xiong et al, 2019). Alpine meadows and alpine grasslands are the main vegetation types in TRH region (Liu et al, 2008).…”
