Key results (4) Compared with FG plots, the GE and MW plots were characterized by significantly (P0.05) greater frequency of Liliaceae species (Allium bidentatum, Allium tenuissimum, Allium neriniflorum, Allium ramosum, Allium senescens), most of which grow close to the ground surface with low productivity; The FG plots had significantly (P0.05) greater numbers of legume species (Oxytropis glabra, Melissitus ruthenica, Astragalus scaberrimus, Astragalus galactites), and a higher frequency of the rhizomatous species, especially Carex duriuscula, than the other two sites; The GE and MW plots differed from the FG plots by displaying greater importance of PF species and lesser importance of SS species in terms of relative contributions to ANPP, plant abundance and cover. Key results (5) On both GE and MW plots, above-ground production was comprised mainly of the PB, PF and SS functional groups, PF being the most dominant; whereas on the FG plots, above-ground production was predominantly and equally comprised of the PB and SS functional groups; The AB functional group contributed a meaningful fraction of total ANPP only on GE plots. Key results (6) On the FG plots, above-ground production of the PB functional group increased with species richness, whereas above-ground production of the SS functional group decreased with species richness. Key results (7) For plant abundance, the PF functional group was most dominant on GE and MW plots, followed by the PR and PB functional groups; On the FG plots, the PR functional group ranked highest and PB next to highest, followed by PF; The PF functional group on the MW plots had much higher abundance than on plots of the other two land-use types.
