Stress gradients and biodiversity: monoculture vulnerability drives stronger biodiversity effects during drought years

Climate change will increase the likelihood and severity of droughts into the future. Although diversity may buffer plant communities against the negative effects of drought, the mechanisms underlying this pattern remain unclear. Higher-diversity plant communities may have a higher likelihood of inc...
