Climate change threatens unique plant community in China's Stipa baicalensis meadow steppe.
A dataset was created to track plant communities in a unique grassland in China from 2009 to 2015. The goal was to understand how human activity and climate change affect these ecosystems. By observing plant species and their abundance over time, researchers can see how the grassland is changing. This data can help scientists study how global warming impacts plant life and guide efforts to restore and manage the grassland.
