The relationship between plant species richness and soil pH vanishes with increasing aridity across Eurasian dry grasslands
Aim Soil pH is considered an important driver of fine‐scale plant species richness in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, it is unclear to what extent this relationship is influenced by …
