“…Meanwhile, the AI index, which could reflect functions that drive the responses of plant nutrients to soils, plants, and eutrophication (Anderson et al, 2018), was positively correlated with high EMF with a higher slope than with low EMF (Figure 3). The plant biomass and species richness of alpine grassland generally increased from northwestern to southeastern Tibetan Plateau, which was closely related to the water-heat pattern (Zong et al, 2019;Sun et al, 2020b), and connected with the higher sensitivity response of low EMF. As for community functions, productivity, and soil properties, for example, AGB, CWM_LDMC, and SOC shaped EMF with higher sensitivity response under high EMF conditions (Figure 3; Table 1).…”
