“…Some researchers have investigated grassland degradation and restoration from the view point of plant community, including grass coverage (Zhang et al, 2014), grassland net primary production (Chen et al, 2014), and grassland yield (Cai et al, 2015). Some studies have investigated environmental issues, such as topographic parameters (Li et al, 2018) and soil condition (Harris, 2010), and a series of studies have analyzed the relationship between plant community and environmental parameters. Based on species dominance, some studies have investigated the effect of environmental factors on species diversity patterns among different plant community types (Jiang et al, 2016).…”
