Abiotic and biotic drivers of grassland structure: from individual to community responses
(2021-11-02)Climate has long been recognized as an important factor in determining the spatial-temporal distribution and abundance of species, consequently influencing global biological diversity. Model projections point to changes ... -
Plants regulate grassland arthropod communities through biomass, quality, and habitat heterogeneity
(2019-10-16)Habitat heterogeneity affects both biotic and abiotic factors important in determining arthropod community composition. In a sandy, mixed‐grass prairie in the southern Great Plains, we used clipping and NPK fertilization ... -
RESPONSES OF COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING TO CLIMATE CHANGE – META-ANALYSIS, MODELING, EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND DATA-MODEL FUSION
(2015)Observations, experimental studies and modeling endeavors all show that global climate change, mainly increased surface air temperature and associated change in precipitation regime, has caused impacts on plant community ... -
Small mammal herbivores mediate the effects of soil nitrogen and invertebrate herbivores on grassland diversity
(2019)Simultaneous reductions in herbivore abundance and increases in nitrogen deposition have led to radical shifts in plant communities worldwide. While the individual impacts of these human‐caused disturbances are apparent, ...
