It is demonstrated that global change impacts on plant community composition can be driven by shifts in a subset of species, and the utility of identifying key drivers of compositional shifts in grasslands worldwide is demonstrated.

The distribution of plants with different photosynthetic pathways is strongly structured by climate, with C3 plants favoured in cooler temperate regions and C4 plants in hotter, high-light conditions. The relative abundance of C3 and C4 plants across the world has cascading impacts on local food webs, decomposition, pr...

It is found that stomatal closure, hydraulic impairment and leaf browning occurred concurrently, in contrast to the progressive sequence typically observed in trees, which highlights the need for grass-specific parameterization of drought responses in process-based models.
