Climate change is dramatically altering rainfall patterns and species distribution around the world. However, little is known about how rainfall reduction may affect plant–herbivore interactions that are crucial to the of input energy and nutrients into terrestrial ecosystems. Following Coley’s growth rate hypothesis, we assessed whether rainfall reduction in a seasonally dry tropical forest decreases community‐level herbivory owing to water shortage in drier areas.

减少降雨增加了热带草本群落的食草性

气候变化正在极大地改变世界各地的降雨模式和物种分布。但是，对于减少降雨如何影响植物-草食动物的相互作用知之甚少，而植物-草食动物的相互作用对于陆生生态系统的输入能量和养分的输入至关重要。根据Coley的增长率假说，我们评估了由于干旱地区缺水，季节性干燥的热带森林中的降雨减少是否会减少社区一级的食草动物。
