The Effects of an Initial Extreme Drought and Chronic Change in Precipitation on Plant Biomass Allocation in a Temperate Grassland [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionDrying climate may strongly affect plant productivity and standing biomass and, thus, ecosystem carbon cycling. Whilst drought effects on grassland aboveground plant biomass (AGB) have been widely studied and are generally negative, reports on ...

Asynchronous responses of microbial CAZymes genes and the net CO2 exchange in alpine peatland following 5 years of continuous extreme drought events [PDF]
ISME Communications, 2022 Peatlands act as an important sink of carbon dioxide (CO2). Yet, they are highly sensitive to climate change, especially to extreme drought. The changes in the net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) under extreme drought events, and the driving function of ...

Plant and Soil Enzyme Activities Regulate CO2 Efflux in Alpine Peatlands After 5 Years of Simulated Extreme Drought [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Increasing attention has been given to the impact of extreme drought stress on ecosystem ecological processes. Ecosystem respiration (Re) and soil respiration (Rs) play a significant role in the regulation of the carbon (C) balance because they are two ...

Timing and Order of Extreme Drought and Wetness Determine Bioclimatic Sensitivity of Tree Growth
Earth's Future, 2022 Tree resistance to extreme droughts and post‐drought recovery are sensitive to the drought timing. However, how the bioclimatic sensitivity of tree growth may vary with the timing and order of extreme droughts and wetness is still poorly understood. Here,

The Vulnerability of Qilian Juniper to Extreme Drought Events. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2019 Identifying which trees are more vulnerable to extreme climatic events is a challenging problem in our understanding of forest and even ecosystem dynamics under climate change scenarios. As one of the most widely distributed tree species across the arid and semi-arid northeastern Tibetan Plateau, Qilian juniper (Juniperus przewalskii Kom.), is the main

Impact of extreme seasonal drought on ecosystem carbon‒water coupling across China
Advances in Climate Change ResearchWater use efficiency (WUE) is a critical evaluation indicator of ecosystem responses to climate change and its extremes. However, the influence of the timing of extreme drought on the variation of ecosystem WUE under severe water stress has not been ...
