Insect herbivores reduce plant biomass loss and enhance plant recovery in response to extreme drought. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Plant species are responding to anthropogenic climate change by expanding their distributions to higher latitudes and altitudes. This is generating novel communities consisting of a mixture of range‐expanding and native plant species. These communities are increasingly subject to extreme droughts and are shaped by herbivory.
