Landscape-Scale Plant Water Content and Carbon Flux Behavior Following Moisture Pulses: From Dryland to Mesic Environments

Andrew F. Feldman et al.

Summary: The study shows that ecosystems across the continental United States exhibit varying degrees of plant water and carbon uptake responses to rain pulses, with drier ecosystems showing more frequent and longer duration responses. Drylands exhibit significantly different responses under varying antecedent soil moisture and pulse magnitude conditions, with the largest water and carbon uptakes following large pulses on initially wet soils.
