A new study has revealed a natural solution to mitigate the effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events. Researchers from Leipzig University, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research Halle-Jena-Leipzig (iDiv) and other research institutions have discovered that high plant diversity acts as a buffer against fluctuations in soil temperature. This buffer can then be of vital importance to ecosystem processes.
I am not surprised since biodiversity is already known to help ecosystems survive in other ways.
This is just another reason why Biodiversity is better than Mono-cultures.

It was posted over in climate. I mentioned it’s likely due to plant community structure (physical height differences) and catching more snow in winter
