Abstract:Desert ecosystems are ecosystems limited by both nitrogen and moisture, while legumes, as an important source of nitrogen in desert ecosystems, are extremely sensitive to respond to moisture and nitrogen changes. In order to reveal the growth and physiological metabolic processes of desert legumes in response to moisture and nitrogen changes. In this study, two dominant ephemeral legumes, Trigonella arcuata C. A. Mey. and Astragalus arpilobus Kar. & Kir. were selected from the Gurbantunggut Desert through … Show more
