Variations in plant traits of Salix gordejevii and Caragana microphylla under different drought treatments.

Li Cheng et al. explored the physiological mechanisms driving the dominance of different shrub species (Salix gordejevii and Caragana microphylla.) at various stages of ecosystem restoration.
