Press–pulse interactions and long‐term community dynamics in a Chihuahuan Desert grassland

Questions Reordering of dominant species is an important mechanism of community response to global environmental change. We asked how wildfire (a pulse event) interacts with directional changes in climate (environmental presses ) to affect plant community dynamics in a Chihuahuan Desert grassland. Location Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro County, New Mexico, USA. Methods Vegetation cover by species was measured twice each year from...
