Multi-species analysis shows that germination timing alters community assembly and plant performance, suggesting ecological implications.
Priority effects caused by different species’ arrival order can significantly influence community assembly and also plant community composition. Dawson-Glass et al. show for the first time in a multi-species setting, that warming-induced shifts in germination timing can restructure communities via seasonal priority effects that influence assembly and affect plant performance.
