The highest levels of total biomass (311.68 g m-2), total C (115.95 g m-2), total N (2.60 g m-2), and total P (0.90 g m-2) accumulation contents were obtained in August in 2010. Further, biomass and nutrient stocks in the below-ground components were higher than those of the above-ground components. The dominant species viz., Stipa purpurea and Carex moorcrofli had lower biomass and C, N, P accumulations than the companion species which including Oxytropis. spp., Artemisia capillaris Thunb., Aster tataricus L., and SO on.展开更多
