The effects of the disturbance of tourism activities on Rhododendron chrysanthum in Changbai Mountain Reserve
Abstract The effects of tourism disturbance on the community structure composition and variation of species diversity of Rhododendron chrysanthum population in the alpine tundra of Changbai Mountain were studied to provide reference for better protection of the ecological environment of Changbai Mou...
