AbstractResponses of ecological communities to perturbations are inherently variable because responses of their constituent populations also vary. Species within a single community may show combinations of no response, positive responses, and negative responses to any given perturbation often canceling each other out resulting in small or no signal that the community level. Here we explore the impacts of warming and loss of the dominant species on alpine ecosystems in a global study.
