Yield of temperate forage grassland species is either largely resistant or resilient to experimental summer drought
Due to climate change, an increasing frequency and severity of drought events are expected
to impair grassland productivity, particularly of intensively managed temperate grasslands …

Nitrogen status of functionally different forage species explains resistance to severe drought and post-drought overcompensation
Forage species of intensively managed temperate grassland differ substantially in their
drought responses. We investigated whether differences in resistance and resilience, based …

Exotic shrub species (Caragana korshinskii) is more resistant to extreme natural drought than native species (Artemisia gmelinii) in a semiarid revegetated ecosystem
Droughts of increasing frequency and severity are expected to have a great impact on
vegetation restoration in semiarid ecosystems by reducing water availability to plants …

Timing of drought in the growing season and strong legacy effects determine the annual productivity of temperate grasses in a changing climate
The frequency of extreme weather events, such as droughts, is assumed to increase and
lead to alterations in ecosystem productivity and thus the terrestrial carbon cycle. Although …

Revisiting global vegetation controls using multi‐layer soil moisture
The productivity of terrestrial vegetation is determined by multiple land surface and
atmospheric drivers. Water availability is critical for vegetation productivity, but the role of …
