Do successive climate extremes weaken the resistance of plant communities? An experimental study using plant assemblages

The probability that plant communities undergo successive climate extremes increases under climate change. Exposure to an extreme event might elicit acclimatory responses and thereby greater resistance to a subsequent event, but might also reduce resistance if the recovery period is too short or res...
