Vegetation Pattern Modulates Ground Arthropod Diversity in Semi-Arid Mediterranean Steppes

Vegetation Pattern Modulates Ground Arthropod Diversity in Semi-Arid Mediterranean Steppes

The ecological functioning of dryland ecosystems is closely related to the spatial pattern of the vegetation, which is typically structured in patches. Ground arthropods mediate key soil functions and ecological processes, yet little is known about the influence of dryland vegetation pattern on thei...
