“…Furthermore, it is quite common that forbs are lumped with grasses to calculate herbaceous biomass, cover, or dry matter production (Van Coller & Siebert, ; Knoop & Walker, ; Smit & Prins, ; Treydte, Baumgartner, Heitkönig, Grant, & Getz, ) or to measure species richness and diversity (Angassa, ; Van Coller et al, ; Porensky, Wittman, Riginos, & Young, ). Accordingly, there is much scientific uncertainty about how forbs are affected by biotic and abiotic drivers at the species and community level, and how this relates to global environmental problems, especially climate‐ and land‐use change (Zerbo, Bernhardt‐Römermann, Ouédraogo, Hahn, & Thiombiano, , ).…”
