Dominants are key species that shape ecosystem functioning. Plant dominance is typically assessed on aboveground features. However, belowground, individual species may not scale proportionally in rela- tion to their aboveground dimen- sion. This is especially important in ecosystems where most biomass is allocated belowground, including grassy and shrubby biomes.

Abstract

Dominants are key species that shape ecosystem functioning. Plant dominance is typically assessed on aboveground features. However, belowground, individual species may not scale proportionally in rela- tion to their aboveground dimen- sion. This is especially important in ecosystems where most biomass is allocated belowground, including grassy and shrubby biomes.
