Plant community assembly in Mediterranean grasslands: understanding the interplay between grazing and spatio-temporal water availability

Questions How does grazing affect taxonomic diversity and functional structure of Mediterranean grassland communities? How do spatial and inter‐annual variations in water availability, as a proxy for productivity, modulate grazing effects? Are shifts in taxonomic diversity systematically mirrored by analogous changes in functional diversity along these gradients? Location Mediterranean grasslands in central Spain. Methods We surveyed grassland...
