Abstract
⺠In this study, we develop and evaluate a structure-function-diversity model of grassland ecosystems. ⺠The model is parameterized from plant functional traits of 13 perennial grass species. ⺠The model is evaluated on species performance in monoculture and mixture across disturbance and fertility gradients. ⺠We demonstrate the model ability to simulate species performance and plant community structure.
