Seedling recruitment in steppe communities

摘要：

Introduction Seedlings are central to population maintenance,community structure and succession.The conditions of seedling growth can play an important role in local-scale species richness and productivity (Zeiter et al.,2006).Relatively few studies have addressed seedling-recruitment in semiarid grassland ecosystems of Inner Mongolia.The dynamics of seedling recruitment after different types of disturbance is unclear for many species in this region.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the seasonal dynamics of seedlings in typical steppe communities.
