Reshaping phenology: Grazing has stronger effects than climate on flowering and fruiting phenology

Environmental change is reshaping ecological communities through global change.

Climate impose bottom-up effects on flowering phenology and plant fitness.

Herbivory impose top-down effects on phenological variables on plants.

The effects of grazing overcome the bottom-up effects of climate in desert plants.

Large grazers affect ecosystem dynamic by reshaping flowering phenology patterns.
