Invertebrate Decline Leads to Shifts in Plant Species Abundance and Phenology

Invertebrate Decline Leads to Shifts in Plant Species Abundance and Phenology

Climate and land-use change lead to decreasing invertebrate biomass and alter invertebrate communities. These biotic changes may affect plant species abundance and phenology. Using 24 controlled experimental units in the iDiv Ecotron, we assessed the effects of invertebrate decline on an artificial...
