| Abstract: | AimsAlthough increases in precipitation variability in arid ecosystems are projected due to climate change, the response of desert shrub communities to precipitation change has not been fully elucidated. Such knowledge is important since drought-adapted plants exhibit varied mechanisms of survival that may contribute to species coexistence. |
