Sensitivity of evapotranspiration and seepage to elevated atmospheric CO2 from lysimeter experiments in a montane grassland

Matevz Vremec et al.

Summary: This study found that elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO2) has a significant impact on water fluxes, leading to a decrease in evapotranspiration and an increase in seepage. The increase in stomatal resistance was identified as the primary influence of eCO2 on evapotranspiration. Neglecting the effect of eCO2 in assessments of climate change on grassland water fluxes may result in overestimation of transpiration and underestimation of seepage.

Climate Change Effects on Temperate Grassland and Its Implication for Forage Production: A Case Study from Northern Germany

Iraj Emadodin et al.

Summary: The effects of climate change on agricultural ecosystems, particularly drought, have significant ecological, social, and economic implications. Analysis of long-term climate data reveals that climate changes and variability did not significantly affect forage production, but extreme dry conditions may have a notable impact on yields.

Soil Nitrogen Dynamics in a Managed Temperate Grassland Under Changed Climatic Conditions

Mona Giraud et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the change in nitrogen dynamics in temperate grasslands due to a shift from energy-limited to water-limited climatic conditions. It found that at water-limited sites, plant nitrogen uptake decreased while inorganic nitrogen concentration in the soil solution increased. The study suggests that fertilizer should be applied early in the growing period to increase nitrogen uptake and decrease nitrogen losses in the short term.

Modelling ecohydrological feedbacks in forest and grassland plots under a prolonged drought anomaly in Central Europe 2018-2020

Lukas Kleine et al.

Summary: This study monitored and modelled feedbacks in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum during the European drought summer 2018 and the following 2 years, revealing significant differences in ecohydrological feedbacks to drought stress in different soil-vegetation units. The findings provide important insights into Critical Zone water cycling in lowland areas.

Drought effects on montane grasslands nullify benefits of advanced flowering phenology due to warming

Max A. Schuchardt et al.

Summary: Warming due to climate change is expected to impact plant phenology and growing seasons, but this impact may be hindered by drought conditions. Species show variability in their responses to warmer temperatures, with mixed effects on community composition and productivity. Our study found that advanced phenology at lower elevations was related to increased reproductive performance, but this was conditional on drought stress. The interaction of warming and drought can push communities past resistance thresholds, leading to shifts in community dynamics.

Characteristics of droughts in Argentina's core crop region

Leandro Carlos Sgroi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impacts of drought on wheat, corn, and soybean yields in Argentina's core crop region. Droughts have larger impacts during the crops' critical growth periods, with corn and soybean being more sensitive to precipitation and soil moisture deficits than wheat. Shorter-term drought indicators during sensitive periods are found to be more effective in predicting crop yield losses.

Subalpine grassland productivity increased with warmer and drier conditions, but not with higher N deposition, in an altitudinal transplantation experiment

Matthias Volk et al.

Summary: Different global change drivers impact plant productivity of grasslands, with moderate warming showing positive effects on yield. Irrigation has a significant impact on yield in dry years. The productivity of subalpine grasslands is expected to increase in the near future despite limitations in soil water content.
