Competitive reshuffling
In the W plots, where we observed species reshuffling, warming had no
effects on density-independent growth rates. Instead, ambient snow depth
had a positive effect on the dominant species growth rate and ambient N
had a positive effect on subdominant and moderate species and a negative
effect on the dominant species growth rates (Fig 2, Table S1). This
supports the observed pattern of community reshuffling in that
subdominant and moderate species growth rates increased while
contrasting positive and negative effects cancelled out any benefit of
the environment for the dominant species. Rare species had no effect of
environmental drivers in W plots despite their increase over time (Fig
S7).
