Title:

Evolutionary history of grazing and resources determine herbivore exclusion effects on plant diversity

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

Ecological models predict that the effects of mammalian herbivore exclusion on plant diversity depend on resource availability and plant exposure to ungulate grazing over evolutionary time. Using an experiment replicated in 57 grasslands on six continents, with contrasting evolutionary history of grazing, we tested how resources (mean annual precipitation and soil nutrients) determine herbivore exclusion effects on plant diversity, richness, and evenness. Here we show that at sites with a long history of ungulate grazing, herbivore exclusion reduced plant diversity by reducing both richness and evenness, and the responses of richness and diversity to herbivore exclusion decreased with mean annual precipitation. At short with a short history of grazing, the effects of herbivore exclusion were not related to precipitation but differed for native and exotic plant richness. Thus, plant species’ evolutionary history of grazing continues to shape the response of the world’s grasslands to changing mammalian herbivory.

Data Entities
Data Table Name:	Price_NutNet_grazing history
Description:	The dataset contains data from 57 NutNet sites, including the code of the site, its latitude and longitude and evolutionary history of grazing ('evo.score'; S = short-history, L = long-history). Every site has 1-3 blocks that include a fertilized and non-fertilized pair of plots. Environmental variables include Mean Annual Temperature (MAT), Mean Annual Precipitation (MAP) and Aridity Index (AI). For every plot the impact of herbivore exclusion is calculated as Log Response Ratios (LRR) for Inverse Simpson's diversity, plant richness (total, exotic and native), Simpson's evenness and also for light availability. Every site also has a proxy for grazing intensity, plant biomass in the fenced plots, and ambient soil nitrogen.
Data Table Name:	Price_NutNet_grazing history_4trt
Description:	The dataset contains data from 57 NutNet sites including code of the site. Every site consists of 1-3 blocks and in each block 4 treatments (trt) were applied: (1) Control, (2) Fence, (3) NPK, (4) Fence + NPK. Each plot has data on Inverse Simpson's diversity, plant richness and Simpson's evenness.
Other Name:	Price_all analysis_Rscript
Description:	R-script that includes all analyses performed with the data.
