The pattern of a few abundant species and many rarer species is a defining characteristic of
communities worldwide. These abundant species are often referred to as dominant species …

In terrestrial ecosystems, climate change forecasts of increased frequencies and magnitudes
of wet and dry precipitation anomalies are expected to shift precipitation–net primary …

C4 perennial bioenergy grasses are an economically and ecologically important group
whose responses to climate change will be important to the future bioeconomy. These …

Climate extremes will elicit responses from the individual to the ecosystem level. However,
only recently have ecologists begun to synthetically assess responses to climate extremes …

Ongoing intensification of the hydrological cycle is altering rainfall regimes by increasing the
frequency of extreme wet and dry years and the size of individual rainfall events. Despite …

The allocation and stoichiometry of plant nutrients in leaves reflect fundamental ecosystem
processes, biotic interactions, and environmental drivers such as water availability. Climate …

Global climate change models predict an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme
droughts, with uncertain ecological impacts across ecosystems. In particular, it is not clear …

The imbalance of terrestrial carbon (C) inputs versus losses to extreme precipitation can
have consequences for ecosystem carbon balances. However, the current understanding of …

Extreme climatic events, such as heat waves, are predicted to increase in frequency and
intensity during the next hundred years, which may accelerate shifts in hydrological regimes …

Current climatic models predict increasing frequency and magnitude of extreme climatic
events (ECEs). Ecological studies recognize the importance of these extremes as drivers of …
