Herbaceous plant communities respond more to seasonal precipitation than cumulative drought in the hot deserts of the United States

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 860-871, April 2026.
Using a 4‐year drought experiment in the hot deserts of the US, we found that herbaceous plant communities were more sensitive to seasonal precipitation than to the cumulative effects of drought. Abstract The hot deserts of the southwestern United States are experiencing increased frequency, severity, and duration of drought due to anthropogenic ...

Aboveground net primary productivity of vegetation along a climate-related gradient in a Eurasian temperate grassland: spatiotemporal patterns and their relationships with climate factors [PDF]

Accurate assessments of spatiotemporal patterns in net primary productivity and their links to climate are important to obtain a deeper understanding of the function, stability and sustainability of grassland ecosystems.

Primary Productivity and Precipitation-Use Efficiency in Temperate Grassland in the Loess Plateau of China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Clarifying spatial variations in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and precipitation-use efficiency (PUE) of grasslands is critical for effective prediction of the response of terrestrial ecosystem carbon and water cycle to future climate ...

Soil Moisture Buffers the Impact of Precipitation Variability on Ecosystem Productivity

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Water availability governs ecosystem productivity, yet estimates of vegetation sensitivity to water can differ greatly depending on whether the sensitivity is examined spatially or temporally. In particular, the spatial sensitivity is often reported to be much stronger than temporal sensitivities, leading to highly uncertain projections of ...

Contrasting spatial variations between above and below-ground net primary productivity in global grasslands

Ecological Indicators
Grassland net primary productivity (NPP) plays a crucial role in global terrestrial carbon cycle and carbon balance. However, the spatial pattern and influencing factors of NPP and its components, especially the belowground net primary productivity (BNPP)

Natural and land-use drivers of primary production in a highly vulnerable region of livestock production (Sierras del Este – Uruguay)

Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2019
Sierras del Este is one of the two regions in Uruguay that are most vulnerable to climate change. A relevant vulnerability factor is the variability of the natural grasslands’ productivity.

Effects of community structure on aboveground net primary productivity (aNPP), leaf area index (LAI) and light use efficiency (LUE) in a boreal mixedwood forest of central Alberta, Canada.

, 2018
Management practices, such as the use of herbicides to reduce abundance of deciduous and herbaceous vegetation can have dramatic influences on community structure and composition in regenerating boreal ecosystems. The vertical structure of boreal stands includes different functional groups: trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses and thallophytes.

Succession stages‐dependent shifts in grassland community stability from asynchrony to population stability mediated by nitrogen enrichment

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Understanding the stability dynamics of naturally occurring grassland succession under nutrient enrichment is crucial for effective ecosystem management. We carried out an 11‐year field experiment to examine how grassland community stability responds to nitrogen (N) enrichment across the three successional stages (early‐, mid‐ and late‐successional ...
