Although the impacts of many types of disturbance have been studied in isolation, the individual and net impacts of multiple interacting disturbances are difficult to disentangle (Turner, 2010). Whether such interactions are additive or non-additive—and in the latter case, whether super-additive or sub-additive (Crain et al., 2008; Piggott et al., 2015)—is rarely established (Porensky & Young, 2013). The potential for non-additive effects and emergent properties in complex systems has important implications because it determines whether or not the consequences of multiple disturbance agents can be predicted from the study of each individually (Buma, 2015; Burton et al., 2020).\u0000The need to understand the impacts and interactions of multiple disturbances is urgent given accelerating change in climate, land use and community structure. Beyond the steadily shifting climatic baseline, models predict increases in the frequency and/or intensity of extreme-weather events (IPCC, 2022), which have severe and long-lasting ecological consequences (Anderegg et al., 2015; Walker et al., 2023). Similarly, the millennia-long decline of large-bodied mammals is currently being punctuated by a spasm of population extirpations, which sharply transform local disturbance regimes (Pringle et al., 2023; Ripple et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2018). The impacts of shifting disturbance regimes may be especially acute in drylands, which cover over 40% of global land area and are often sensitive to even small changes in bottom-up (precipitation) or top-down (herbivory) forces (Maestre et al., 2016, 2022).\u0000We investigated the effects of three dominant drivers of vegetation dynamics in tropical semi-arid grasslands: large-mammal herbivory, rainfall (drought), and soil-nesting termites. Of the possible interactions among these drivers, herbivory × rainfall interactions are the most extensively studied (Carmona et al., 2012; Ebel et al., 2022; Fuhlendorf & Smeins, 1997; Hartvigsen, 2000; Milchunas et al., 1989) and are often non-additive, such that the effects of one are amplified by the other (Augustine & McNaughton, 2006; Gao et al., 2009; Koerner & Collins, 2014; Loeser et al., 2007; Porensky et al., 2013; Riginos et al., 2018).

However, the stability of these ecosystem processes is impacted by climate change as plants react by shifting the quantity and timing of reproduction and biomass turnover (Cleland et al., 2007; Iler et al., 2021). For example, more prevalent leaf shedding under the warmer and drier conditions in Amazonian forests has reduced trees' ability to sequestrate carbon in living biomass (Janssen et al., 2021). Climate-induced changes in flowering and fruiting intensities across tropical forests have also impacted tree recruitment and consumer populations (Bush et al., 2020; Butt et al., 2015; Numata et al., 2022). As increasing drought and aridity weakens the role of tropical forests as carbon sinks (Corlett, 2016), it is imperative that we study phenological shifts as indicators of species' and communities' demographic responses to climate change (Hacket-Pain et al., 2024; Iler et al., 2021).\u0000Across tropical forests, there is accumulating evidence of temperature and rainfall as key determinants of tree phenology (Sakai & Kitajima, 2019; Van Schaik et al., 1993). Water stress due to declining rainfall and rising temperatures has been associated with a greater quantity of leaf shedding (Janssen et al., 2021), as well as a reduced quantity of leaf flush (Nomura et al., 2003), flowering (Butt et al., 2015; Lasky et al., 2016; Numata et al., 2022) and fruiting (Bush et al., 2020; Chapman et al., 2018); though the opposite or weaker relationships have also been found (Babweteera et al., 2018; Chapman et al., 2018; Pau et al., 2013; Wright & Calderón, 2006). In addition to shifting quantities, climate can also shift the timing of phenology (Chang-Yang et al., 2024; Chen et al., 2018; Richardson et al., 2023). Changing rainfall and temperature patterns in recent decades have delayed flowering (Borchert, 1983), advanced leaf shedding (Reich & Borchert, 1984) and shortened leaf-flush intervals (Ho et al., 2024). However, evidence of climate effects on phenological timing in tropical forests remains sparse, because most studies, including the largest open-data initiative of global phenology (Hacket-Pain et al., 2022), analysed phenology as time-implicit total quantities (e.g. the weight of litterfall or abu","PeriodicalId":191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143806101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These plant–microbe interactions comprise a range of symbiotic relationships including parasitism, commensalism, competition and mutualism, playing a pivotal role in shaping plant health and development (Pattnaik et al., 2021; Vandenkoornhuyse et al., 2015). While certain plant-associated microbial groups such as mycorrhizal fungi, phytopathogens and nitrogen-fixing bacteria have been extensively studied over the last century, it was not until recently that the remarkable taxonomic and functional diversity of the plant-associated microbiota has been revealed by the advent of high-throughput sequencing techniques. Over the past decades, there has been a growing consensus on the importance of plant-associated microbiota for plant diversity, productivity, biogeography and indeed nearly every aspect of plant ecology and evolution (Dastogeer et al., 2020; Delavaux et al., 2019; Hawkes et al., 2020). Moreover, plant-associated microbiota impact socio-economically important ecosystems, such as agroecosystems and forests, that are directly related to human well-being (Fisher et al., 2012; Thirkell et al., 2017). In this context, understanding the drivers of the diversity, distribution and function of plant-associated microbiota has been considered key questions in ecology and evolution, as well as in plant sciences, forestry and agronomy.\u0000Anthropogenic environmental changes—including climate change, nutrient deposition, land-use change and the introduction of invasive species—influence the diversity and distribution of plant microbiota both directly (e.g. by altering temperature) and indirectly (e.g. through altering plant traits or host species distributions) (Trivedi et al., 2022). These impacts are expected to prompt a rapid shift in the composition and function of plant-associated microbiota, given the shorter generation time and higher sensitivity of microbes to stresses compared to plants and animals (Cavicchioli et al., 2019). The alteration of the plant microbiota, on the one hand, represents a potential catastrophic risk to ecosystem health and human well-being. For example, the increased impact of phytopathogens under climate change could potentially endanger food supplies for 10%–60% of the world's population and cause billions of dollars of economic damage annually (Bebber et al., 2014; Fisher et al., 2012). On the other hand, engineering the plant microbiota represents a promising approach to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on plants, for instance by enhancing plant resistance and acclimatisation to abiotic and b","PeriodicalId":191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These trends are expected to intensify, with global air temperatures predicted to rise between 1 and 5°C and sea surface temperatures between 1.6 and 4°C until the end of the century (Pörtner et al., 2022). Importantly, since warming patterns differ among the two domains, temporal and spatial heterogeneity at smaller scales may also be on the rise (Coumou et al., 2013). Understanding how this small-scale temperature variability affects the individual's physiology and subsequent population resilience is, therefore, critical for accurately predicting the biotic impacts of climate change (Choi et al., 2019). Species inhabiting intertidal rocky shores provide exceptional opportunities for these studies. Despite their marine origin, they periodically experience terrestrial conditions during low tide, when body temperatures can fluctuate by as much as 20°C in a couple of hours (Seabra et al., 2011). Consequently, rocky shore organisms are considered sensitive indicators of climate change (Mislan et al., 2014; Wethey & Woodin, 2008). Yet, the explicit incorporation of the thermal complexity of intertidal zones within experimental studies presents substantial challenges.\u0000First, the identification of appropriate experimental temperature treatments is not always trivial. A common framework is identifying heatwaves and cold snaps, defined as significant deviations from typical climate conditions (Domeisen et al., 2023; Hobday et al., 2016), and using them to characterise and quantify weather anomalies. But although extreme events are evidently correlated with mass mortality events among algae (Thomsen et al., 2019), seagrass (Strydom et al., 2020) and benthic invertebrates (Le Nohaic et al., 2017; Traiger et al., 2022), mild but realistic temperature changes can also lead to meaningful impacts. For example, survivability in mussels (Perna canaliculus) following field transplants was found to be correlated with time spent in moderate heat (>25°C) during emersion periods (Benjamin et al., 2024), a detail that could only be properly captured with in situ temperature sensors. Additionally, these impacts can be more severe when habitat-forming species are affected, triggering cascading effects on biodiversity, community structure and ecosystem services (Garrabou et al., 2022; Hesketh & Harley, 2023; Smale et al., 2017).\u0000Second, environmental data must be acquired at scales relevant to the organisms under study (Potter et al., 2013), and that can be very hard to accomplish.

A subset of these so-called alien species has formed self-sustaining populations in nature (i.e. are naturalized alien species), and the naturalized species that spread rapidly and frequently have negative impacts on the environment are considered invasive (Blackburn et al., 2011; Richardson et al., 2000). Naturalization, however, is a central stage of the invasion process, and it is of high importance to study and understand the mechanisms underlying the invasion (i.e. establishment) of naturalized alien species into local communities (Richardson & Pyšek, 2012).\u0000Worldwide, at least 13,000 plant species have become naturalized due to human activities during the past centuries, and the pace of biological invasions does not seem to slow down in the foreseeable future (Seebens et al., 2017; Seebens et al., 2021; van Kleunen et al., 2015). Thus, how introduced alien plants interact with the local plant species remains one of the key questions in ecology. Answering this question will be necessary in order to reduce biological invasions and maintain native biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems under global change (IPBES, 2023; Valladares et al., 2015).\u0000Competition between alien and native plants is commonly thought to play an important role in the invasion process (Gioria & Osborne, 2014; Kuebbing & Nuñez, 2015). A large number of studies have tested whether aliens are more competitive than natives in different aspects, yet no agreement has been reached (Kuebbing & Nuñez, 2016; Vilà & Weiner, 2004; Zhang & van Kleunen, 2019). So, key questions are what determines the competitiveness of alien species, and are they really different from native species. With regard to the latter, it is important to consider that a species that is native to a region may at the same time be a naturalized alien in other regions (van Kleunen et al., 2010). So, when comparing alien to native species, it might be important to consider how successful the native species are as naturalized aliens in other parts of the world.\u0000Similarly, not all naturalized alien species are equally competitive and successful. Some occur in relatively few regions or are relatively rare within their non-native range. So, both among the natives and aliens in a region, we have successful and less successful species both at the regional scale and at the global scale. Frequently, species that are widespread globally grow faster than less widely distributed species (Dawson et al., ","PeriodicalId":191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
