| Abstract |
- Intra-annual (i.e. seasonal) temporal niche
partitioning is essential to the maintenance of biodiversity in many
plant communities. However, understanding of how climate and global
change drivers such as eutrophication influence seasonal niche
partitioning in plant assemblages remains limited.
- We used early-season and late-season compositional
data collected from 10 grassland sites around the world to explore
relationships between climate variability and intra-annual species
segregation (i.e. seasonal β-diversity) and to assess how nutrient enrichment alters seasonal β-diversity in plant communities. We then assessed whether changes in seasonal β-diversity
in response to nutrient enrichment are underpinned by species turnover
or nestedness and determined how specific functional groups (i.e. annual
forbs, perennial forbs, C3 and C4 graminoids and legumes) respond to
eutrophication within and across early and late sampling dates.
- We found a positive relationship between intra-annual temperature variability and seasonal β-diversity but observed no relationship between intra-annual precipitation variability and seasonal β-diversity. Nutrient enrichment increased seasonal β-diversity
and increased turnover of species between early- and late-season
communities. Nutrient enrichment reduced the abundance of C4 graminoids
and legumes within and across sampling timepoints and eliminated
intra-annual differences in these groups. In contrast, nutrient
enrichment resulted in seasonal differences in C3 graminoids, which were
not observed in control conditions and increased abundance of C3
graminoids and annual forbs within and across early and late sampling
dates.
- Synthesis: Our understanding of how grasslands
respond to various components of global change is primarily based on
studies that document community changes at inter-annual scales. Using
early-season and late-season compositional data from 10 grassland sites
around the world, we show that nutrient enrichment increases seasonal β-diversity and alters intra-annual dynamics of specific functional groups in unique ways.
