CAREER: Quantifying environmental impacts in a community context: indirect effects of clim — NSF Award to Kansas State University

Environmental effects on plant and animal populations can be mediated via both direct effects on individuals, such as water stress, and/or indirect effects, such as a reduction in the densities of competing species.

AbstractEnvironmental effects on plant and animal populations can be mediated via both direct effects on individuals, such as water stress, and/or indirect effects, such as a reduction in the densities of competing species. Quantifying the strength of direct vs. indirect effects is critical to accurately predicting responses to a variable climate. If direct effects are strong, responses in one community will accurately predict responses in another community with different interacting species. If indirec
