Multifunctional Group Species Reseeding Reduce Community-Level Root Exudate Rate at Severely Degraded Alpine Meadows

Abstract. Root exudates play a crucial role in the communication and interaction between plants and soil. However, the responses of carbon (C), nitrogen (N

Community dynamics of alpine meadows under fencing durations: based on diversity, niches, and interspecific associations

Abstract. Grazing exclusion through fencing is widely used for vegetation restoration in degraded alpine meadows. However, the dynamic responses of plant c

Day 2 of my three-day photo workshop 'Summer on Vancouver Island'. We spent the day in an alpine meadow with a large variety of wildflowers and many butterflies like this one. Time flies when you are in the company of nature lovers and keen photographers.
