Increasing climatic sensitivity of global grassland vegetation biomass and species diversity correlates with water availability

Daijun Liu et al.

Summary: Grasslands are sensitive to climate change, with varying responses to warming and precipitation shifts depending on local water availability. Climate warming increases aboveground biomass and net primary productivity, while the impact of irrigation on species richness decreases over time.

Plant traits and soil fertility mediate productivity losses under extreme drought in C3 grasslands

Wentao Luo et al.

Summary: Extreme drought reduces aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in most grasslands, with differential responses observed in C-3-dominated grasslands. This study experimentally imposed a 4-year extreme drought on two C-3 grasslands of different aridity levels, revealing varying impacts and interactions between plant traits, soil moisture, and ANPP in response to drought. The results highlight the importance of both soil moisture and plant traits in influencing ANPP under extreme drought conditions.

Functional diversity response to geographic and experimental precipitation gradients varies with plant community type

Xiaoan Zuo et al.

Summary: Our study found that precipitation has different effects on functional diversity in desert-shrub and steppe-grass communities, with distinct adaptive strategies between the two types of communities. This research highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind the relationship of functional diversity and precipitation in different plant communities.

Drought of early time in growing season decreases community aboveground biomass, but increases belowground biomass in a desert steppe

Xiangyun Li et al.

Summary: The study revealed that drought significantly affects the allocation of above- and belowground biomass in desert steppe ecosystems, with species richness and functional traits modulating the impact of drought on aboveground biomass; meanwhile, natural drought and soil nitrogen content play a crucial role in determining belowground biomass.
