Precipitation and temperature drive many aspects of terrestrial ecosystem function. Climate
change scenarios predict increasing precipitation variability and temperature, and long term …

Global climate change projections suggest an increasing frequency of droughts and extreme
rain events in the steppes of the Eurasian region. Using the eddy covariance method, we …

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events like drought and
flooding, which threaten to amplify other global change drivers such as species invasion. We …

Drought is common in rangeland environments and an understanding of its impacts on the
structure and function of rangeland ecosystems is paramount for develo** effective …

Climate, as reflected by seasonal variations in precipitation and temperature, plays a critical
role in ecosystem productivity and composition in the Western US and other arid regions …

Changes in timing or amount of precipitation may be of great consequence for carbon
cycling in the Mixedgrass Prairie of N. America, because CO 2 fixation and efflux are tightly …

Water‐limited grasslands may be exceedingly vulnerable to changes in the timing or amount
of precipitation which may result in shifts in the magnitudes and patterns of carbon cycling …

Understanding impacts of changed precipitation regimes on plant primary production at
species level is critical for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. We examined …

There is considerable interest in how ecosystems will respond to changes in precipitation.
Alterations in rain and snowfall are expected to influence the spatio-temporal patterns of …

Drought is an inherent trait of most rangelands and sound management necessitates
managers address two fundamental questions when facing a drought situation. The first …
