Reseeding Native Species Promotes Community Stability by Improving Species Diversity, Niche, and Interspecific Relationships in the Desert Steppe of Northwest China.

ABSTRACT: The mechanism of community stability is a hot topic in the field of ecology. Research on the stability of the grassland community has gradually increased, and the reseeding of native species is one of the main measures to restore the degraded desert steppe in northwest China. However, little is known about the changes in the stability of the plant community in the desert steppe after reseeding native species. This study established a long-term observation site for native species reseeding in the desert steppe. We established reseeding and grazing exclusion plots in May 2017 and conducted surveys on degraded grasslands (0YEX(RS)) before setting up reseeding and grazing exclusion treatment experimental plots. After 3 and 6 years of setting up the test, the vegetation restoration status of th
