| Abstract: | AimsGrassland degradation has become a common problem worldwide. Several studies have analyzed the effects of nitrogen (N) addition on plant growth in grasslands, but few have considered its effects on plant growth in degraded grasslands. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of N addition on plant growth in grasslands with different levels of degradation in Inner Mongolia, China. |
| Keywords: | nitrogen addition degraded grassland aboveground biomass belowground biomass foliar nitrogen concentrations root nitrogen concentrations |
