Asymmetrical Warming Between Elevations May Result in Similar Plant Community Composition Between Elevations in Alpine Grasslands

Asymmetrical warming between elevations is a common phenomenon and magnitude increases with increasing on the Tibetan Plateau, which in turn may reduce temperature differences elevations. However, it still unclear how such will affect plant community composition alpine grasslands Plateau. Therefore, this study, we performed an experiment at three (i.e., 4,300 m, 4,500 4,700 m) grasslands, Northern Plateau since May, 2010. Open top chambers were established m m. Plant species phylogenetic investigated August, 2011–2019. There no significant composition, environmental moisture conditions elevation under non-warming 2019. also narrowing result tending to be similar future elevational asymmetrical warming.
