A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities

Andrew Siefert, +51 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of the relative extent of ITV within and among plant communities worldwide, using a data set encompassing 629 communities (plots) and 36 functional traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change.

TL;DR: A conceptual model is provided to describe how loss of response diversity may cause ecosystem degradation through decreased ecosystem resilience, and how response diversity contributes to functional compensation and to spatio‐temporal complementarity among species, leading to long‐term maintenance of ecosystem multifunctionality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dominant species, rather than diversity, regulates temporal stability of plant communities

TL;DR: It is shown that temporal stability in a shortgrass steppe plant community was controlled by dominant species rather than by diversity itself, suggesting that dominance hierarchies and their changes might be among the most important ecological components to consider in managing communities to maintain ecosystem functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Threshold changes in vegetation along a grazing gradient in Mongolian rangelands

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors surveyed the vegetation along grazing gradients at 10 ecological sites, each located at different landscape positions in Mongolia's central and southern rangelands, and examined the evidence for the existence of ecological thresholds in vegetation change along a grazing gradient across all ecological sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Change in dominance determines herbivore effects on plant biodiversity

Sally E. Koerner, +85 more
TL;DR: It is shown that herbivore-induced change in dominance, independent of site productivity or precipitation (a proxy for productivity), is the best predictor of Herbivore effects on biodiversity in grassland and savannah sites.
