Predicting tip** points of vegetation resilience as a response to precipitation: Implications for understanding impacts of climate change in India
Although the impacts of climate change are long-term in nature, the transformation in climate regime can lead to an ecosystem change from one stable...

Legacies of precipitation influence primary production in Panicum virgatum
Precipitation is a key driver of primary production worldwide, but primary production does not always track year-to-year variation in precipitation...

Iron-bound Organic Carbon Distribution in Freshwater Wetlands with Varying Vegetation and Hydrological Regime
Iron (Fe) oxides have attracted much attention due to their role as optimal minerals for long-term soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However,...

Fire regime attributes shape pre-fire vegetation characteristics controlling extreme fire behavior under different bioregions in Spain
BackgroundDesigning effective land management actions addressed to increase ecosystem resilience requires us to understand how shifting fire regimes...
-
Metagenomic data highlight shifted nitrogen regime induced by wetland reclamation
Natural wetlands are mostly nitrogen-limited ecosystems, while reclamation stimulates the loss of nitrogen (N) in soils by shifting the N regime. To...

Differential response of graminoid and forb species to precipitation variability in a constructed dry tropical grassland
Precipitation and temperature are the two major drivers of species distribution on the earth. Change in precipitation has severe effects on the...

Simulating dynamic fire regime and vegetation change in a warming Siberia
BackgroundClimate change is expected to increase fire activity across the circumboreal zone, including central Siberia. However, few studies have...
-
Differential responses of litter decomposition to warming, elevated CO2, and changed precipitation regime
Background and aimsLitter decomposition is a fundamental process of biogeochemical cycles and particularly sensitive to global change. However, the...

Precipitation and plant functional composition mediate desert canopy nutrient responses to water and nitrogen addition
Background and aimsPlant nutrients play a fundamental role in regulating ecosystem functioning and are sensitive to global changes such as...

Responses of grassland productivity to mowing intensity and precipitation variability in a temperate steppe
Mowing for hay is an important land use in grasslands that is affected by precipitation variability, due to the water-limited nature of these...

Climate and humans interact to shape the fire regime of a chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) forest in eastern Bhutan
BackgroundChir pine ( Pinus roxburghii Sarg.) forests are distributed in the dry valleys of Bhutan Himalaya. In the past, these forests have been...

Precipitation and land use alter soil respiration in an Inner Mongolian grassland
PurposeGrasslands are facing the threat of climate change and intensive land use. Soil respiration (R s ) in grassland ecosystems can be potentially...

Effects of fire regime on the bird community in an Amazonian savanna
Savanna ecosystems are maintained by fires with a fire-adapted biota, and savannas occur in Amazonia in patches surrounded by tropical forest....

Consistent but Delayed Timing of Precipitation Affects Community Composition of Prairie Pothole Birds and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates, but not Wetland Plants
The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the...

Responses of soil carbon dynamics to precipitation and land use in an Inner Mongolian grassland
Background and aimsGrasslands hold one of the most important soil carbon stocks in the world, which is vulnerable to climate change (i.e....

Belowground growth strategies of native and invasive rhizomatous perennial grasses in response to precipitation variability, clip**, and competition
Invasive clonal species may exhibit different growth strategies than their native clonal competitors. In this study, we examined the spatial...
