Temporal intraspecific trait variability drives responses of functional diversity to interannual aridity variation in grasslands
Abstract Interannual climate variation alters functional diversity through intraspecific trait variability and species turnover. We examined these diversity elements in three types of grasslands in northern China, including two temperate steppes and an alpine meadow. We evaluated the differences in...
