A Decade of Rainfall Manipulation Reveals Growing‐Season Aridity as a Key Determinant of Grassland Productivity and Stability

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Changing rainfall patterns and rising temperatures threaten the diversity and functioning of grassland ecosystems. Using data from a 10‐year manipulation experiment, we show that productivity is most strongly related to growing season aridity (precipitation/potential evapotranspiration, P/PET).

Phytolith Content Negatively Affects Forage Quality of Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees

Agronomy, 2023
Phytoliths are intra and extracellular siliceous deposits present in different plant tissues. Si uptake and transport are mediated by Lsi genes and its concentration is associated with forage quality.

Fear or feast: small mammal activity increases in the presence of carcasses despite increased threat of predation by black‐backed jackals

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Food acquisition is arguably the most important, and among the riskiest behaviours for most mammals. Carcasses are an ephemeral resource for many scavengers, particularly black‐backed jackals Lupulella mesomelas that prey on small mammals. Landscape of fear theory suggests that prey species should reduce their activity in areas of high predator ...

An African grassland responds similarly to long-term fertilization to the Park Grass experiment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
We compared the results of a long-term (65 years) experiment in a South African grassland with the world's longest-running ecological experiment, the Park Grass study at Rothamsted, U.K.

Thicket Formation and Light Limitation Drive Patch‐Scale Vegetation Transitions in a Subtropical Savanna

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Bush encroachment drives a shift from savanna dominated by Vachellia karroo to thicket vegetation. As canopies close, light availability declines, herbaceous cover and species richness decrease, and shade‐tolerant species replace open‐savanna taxa. Woody cover above ca.

Plant and soil elemental coupling in response to experimentally altered precipitation and root herbivory in an Australian grassland

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work provides novel experimental evidence on how chemical elements in plants and soils respond to changes in precipitation regimes and shifts in plant–animal interactions (root herbivory), moving the focus from changes in plant and soil elements to the way in which such elements are coordinated.
