How big is big enough? Surprising responses of a semiarid grassland to increasing deluge size

Alison K. Post et al.

Summary: A field experiment conducted in a native semiarid shortgrass steppe in Colorado, USA showed that most variables of the water-limited ecosystem responded linearly to increasing deluge size without clear response thresholds during a dry year. The study found that responses reflected a linear increase in the duration of elevated soil moisture with increasing event size. Overall, the results suggest that this semiarid grassland will respond positively and linearly to predicted increases in deluge size.

Sensitivity of productivity to precipitation amount and pattern varies by topographic position in a semiarid grassland

David L. Hoover et al.

Summary: This study found significant variability in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) among different topographic positions, with higher temporal variability than spatial variability. Warm-season perennial grasses were the dominant plant functional type, influencing total ANPP dynamics. ANPP showed strong sensitivities to precipitation amount and pattern in the current year, and weaker sensitivities to precipitation and productivity legacies.
