The effect of disturbance on plant rarity and ecosystem function

Résumé fourni par la source

This study explored the contributions of rare plants towards functional diversity and ecosystem processes, and how drought and fire affect their functional roles. The findings indicated that rare plants can provide functional insurance against the post-disturbance loss of common species, and support unique functions that are critical for ecosystem stability.
