Abstract: | Species interactions can have a larger impact on plant performance than direct effects of climate change itself, as shown by Rysavy et al. in this issue of the Journal of Vegetation Science. Their study illustrates different ways in which plant–plant interactions can change following climate change, stressing the need for experiments to disentangle direct and indirect impacts of climate change. |
