Changes in climate, grazing pressure and nutrient inputs affect the structural integrity and functioning of Andean shrublands

Autor: Diego P. Vélez-Mora, Elizabeth Gusmán, Carlos Iván Espinosa, Pedro F. Quintana-Ascencio

Changes in climate and the intensity of agriculture expansion can alter plant population dynamics and community composition and structure of dry shrublands. We tested how temperature and moisture along an elevation gradient, grazing, and nutrient add
