Climate‐change‐driven shifts in C <sub>3</sub> and C <sub>4</sub> grass distributions and leaf traits could lead to changes in community‐level flammability
These findings highlight the need for adaptive fire management and conservation strategies to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function in North American grasslands under climate change.
