We found an unexpected 88% increase in trait diversity to occur at an aridity threshold of ~0.7 (400mm rain/year). The threshold appeared with the presence of grazers, and moved toward lower aridity levels with increasing grazing pressure.
The sharp increase in trait diversity observed with increases in aridity and grazing pressure resulted mainly from a decrease in trait covariation and a decoupling between macronutrients in plants.
