The Effects of Plant-Soil-Enzyme Interactions on Plant Composition, Biomass and Diversity of Alpine Meadows in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Figure 2

Distribution of biomass (Mean ±SD, 𝑛=10, g/m²) in the KHM, KPM, KTS, and PFS communities. The percent of each functional group in the total aboveground biomass is indicated above the 𝑋-axis. At the same functional group biomass percent for different community, values with the same letters are not significantly different (𝑃≤.05) (one-way ANOVA analyses for forbs, C₄ plants, C₃ plants, sedges, and legumes). Kobresia humilis meadow = KHM; Kobresia pygmaea meadow = KPM; Kobresia tibetica swamp meadow = KTS; Potentilla fruticosa scrub = PFS.
