Evidence of photovoltaic aridity mitigation in semi-arid grasslands

Environmental Research Letters
In water-limited ecosystems, evidence suggests that photovoltaic (PV) arrays may alleviate water stress, potentially mitigating the loss of key ecosystem services such as forage production.

Annual Net Primary Production

, 2011
Aboveground annual net primary production (ANPP) has been measured on the LTER main site since 1990 and on the successional and forested sites since 1993. ANPP is measured at peak biomass for a given treatment. In some systems with multiple harvests or

Aboveground net primary productivity and carbon balance remain stable under extreme precipitation events in a semiarid steppe ecosystem

, 2017
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Global climate change is projected to increase both the intensity and frequency of extreme precipitation events (EPEs), which are considered to have stronger impacts on ecosystem functions than gradual changes in mean precipitation ...

Changing Climate–Productivity Relationships: Nonlinear Trends and State-Dependent Sensitivities in Eurasian Grasslands

Diversity
Grassland productivity faces heightened uncertainty under nonlinear climatic forcing. This study characterizes the spatial heterogeneity of nonlinear variations and nonstationary climate sensitivities across the Eurasian Steppe Region (EASR) to provide a

Above-ground net primary productivity through time.

, 2013
Variation of above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP in g m2 22 day period−1) through time for grasslands and sown pastures. Sown pastures: n = 44; grasslands: n = 60. Black vertical lines separate seasons.
