Plant community responses to five years of simulated climate warming in an alpine fen of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Background: Alpine and arctic ecosystems at high latitudes have been shown to be particularly vulnerable to climate change, but little has been reported about plant community responses from lower latitudes, such as the vast Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
