Decreased soil moisture due to warming drives phylogenetic diversity and community transitions in the tundra

Global warming leads to drastic changes in the diversity and structure of Arctic plant communities. Studies of functional diversity within the Arctic tundra biome have improved our understanding of plant responses to warming. However, these studies still show substantial unexplained variation in div...
