Precipitation (PPT) is a primary climatic determinant of plant growth and aboveground net
primary production (ANPP) over much of the globe. Thus, PPT–ANPP relationships are …

Variability of above-ground net primary production (ANPP) of arid to sub-humid ecosystems
displays a closer association with precipitation when considered across space (based on …

The uncertainties of China's gross primary productivity (GPP) estimates by global data‐
oriented products and ecosystem models justify a development of high‐resolution data …

Aim Growing attention has been focused on the changes in the structure and diversity of
microbial communities under altered precipitation pattern, but little is known about how this …

Fungi play an important regulating role in terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, their
biogeographic distribution patterns along combined gradients of plant communities and …

Nitrogen (N) deposition is widely considered an environmental problem that leads to
biodiversity loss and reduced ecosystem resilience; but, N fertilization has also been used …

Observations indicate that although average temperatures in Central Asia showed almost no
increases from 1997 to 2013, they have been in a state of high variability. Despite the lack of …

Identifying the thresholds for the positive responses of total net primary productivity (NPP) to
nitrogen (N) enrichment is an essential prerequisite for predicting the benefits of N …

Understanding the effects of diversity on ecosystem stability in the context of global change
has become an important goal of recent ecological research. However, the effects of …

Climate‐change assessments project increasing precipitation variability through increased
frequency of extreme events. However, the effects of interannual precipitation variance per …
