Abstract
This study provides evidence that the temporal patterning of disturbance may play an important role in determining the effects of disturbance on species diversity. To describe this temporal patterning, a "phasing parameter" is developed, and mechanisms by which this parameter affects the relative abundances of fugitive and competitively dominant species are discussed.
