Effects of Nitrogen Addition on Leaf Functional Traits of Dominant Species in Bayanbulak Grassland, Xinjiang, China by Xiaoyu Ding, Junjie Liu, Yao Wang, Juan Wang, Chao Liu, Mengtian Qin, Yujiao Xu, Yonggang Ma, Jianjun Yang, Zhonglin Xu

“…The results were as follows: (1) LA and leaf length (LL) of Poaceae changed significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) under different N addition gradients, and leaf nutrient contents of Poaceae, Rosaceae and Fabaceae showed significant changes under different N addition gradients. (2) Pearson correlation analyses showed that total nitrogen (TN), total carbon (TOC) and leaf width (LW) of Rosaceae leaves had a significant positive correlation, and the TOC and total phosphorus (TP) of Fabaceae leaves showed a significant negative correlation. (3) SEM of the three plant functional groups showed direct and indirect effects of N addition on leaf dry matter content of Poaceae and Rosaceae, and only indirect effects on Fabaceae.…”
