Abstract:Human‐induced disturbances such as dam construction and regulation have led to widespread alterations in hydrological processes and thus substantially influence plant characteristics in the hydro‐fluctuation zones (HFZs). To reveal utilization of limited resources and mechanisms of inter‐specific competition and species co‐existence of plant communities based on niche breadth and overlap under the different HFZs of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China, we conducted a field investigation with 368 quadrats … Show more
