To understand the distribution pattern and influencing factors of plant community and diversity along the altitude gradient, we examined plant community types, plant diversity and phylogenetic diversity of mountain steppe in Luoshan, Ningxia, and analyzed the relationship between the plant community and its diversity and environmental driving factors. The results showed that the main community types in the mountain steppe were community, community, community, community, ＋ community, community, ＋＋ community, ＋ community, ＋ community, community, community and community. The distribution of mountain steppe community was mainly affected by altitude, soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, water content, available potassium, silt and organic matter contents, with altitude and soil water content having the greatest effects (<0.

- - The study investigates how species and functional diversity in grassland ecosystems change as they degrade, particularly in arid regions, by surveying vegetation and soil properties across a degradation gradient.
- - Results indicate that both species diversity and functional diversity initially increase with slight degradation but then decline with further degradation, with various indices showing inconsistent relationships between these two types of diversity at different degradation stages.
- - Grassland degradation not only directly impacts both types of diversity but also affects species diversity indirectly through soil properties like nitrogen and organic matter, highlighting the complex interactions in these ecosystems.
Inflammation-induced autophagy is a double-edged sword. Dysfunction of autophagy impairs the differentiation capacity of mesenchymal stem cells and enhances inflammation-induced bone loss. Tooth extraction with periodontal and/or endodontic lesions exacerbates horizontal and vertical resorption of alveolar bone during the healing period.

Research on the temporal and spatial variations of net primary productivity (NPP) in this area and its driving factors would help understand the trends and leading factors of NPP variations, and reveal vegetation restoration status and causes. Based on the NPP data of MODIS, we used Theil-Sen Median trend analysis, correlation analysis, overlay analysis and other methods to analyze the spatiotemporal variations and driving factors of NPP in Ningxia.
