Sensitivity of grassland plant community composition to spatial vs. temporal variation in precipitation

TL;DR: The results suggest that xeric grasslands are likely to exhibit the greatest responsiveness of community composition (richness and turnover) to predicted future increases in interannual precipitation variability, which is consistent with the idea that short-lived and less abundant species are more sensitive to interannually climate variability than longer- lived and more abundant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotic mechanisms of community stability shift along a precipitation gradient

TL;DR: The importance of stability mechanisms varied along the environmental gradient: strong negative species covariance occurred in sites characterized by high precipitation variability, whereas portfolio effects increased in sites with high mean annual precipitation.
