Description

During the long period of co-evolution with herbivores, range plants have adapted and developed resistant mechanisms in response to grazing (Briske, 1991). The objective of this experiment was to determine the morphological response of a number of the dominant plant species in the Inner Mongolia steppe of China to stocking rate.
