Table 1 . Species number (richness) within different phyla in
the grassland regions with different degradation levels.
Note: Different lowercase letters in the same column represent
a significant (P < 0.05) difference in species richness
within each phylum in different regions of degraded grasslands in
grassland 1 and grassland 2. The magnitude of the number represents the
level of degradation. A smaller numerical index indicates a lower
degradation level.
Table 2. Correlation
between alpha diversity and mean nearest taxon distances (ses.MNTD) of
different phyla.
