Grassland and other herbaceous communities cover significant portions of Earth's terrestrial
surface and provide many critical services, such as carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat …

abstract Long-term observations and experiments in diverse drylands reveal how
ecosystems and services are responding to climate change. To develop generalities about …

Predicted climate change extremes, such as severe or prolonged drought, may considerably
impact carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling in water-limited ecosystems. However, we lack a …

Although drought is known to negatively impact grassland functioning, the timing and
magnitude of these impacts within a growing season remain unresolved. Previous small …

The use of permanent plots has a long tradition in ecology (Callahan, 1984; Wildi and
Schültz, 2000; Lindenmayer et al., 2012; Hughes et al., 2017) and vegetation science …

Plant‐associated fungi can ameliorate abiotic stress in their hosts, and changes in these
fungal communities can alter plant productivity, species interactions, community structure …

The predicted intensification of the North American Monsoon is expected to alter growing
season rainfall patterns in the southwestern United States. These patterns, which have …

Plant species represent the hierarchical expression of vegetation as it is affected by various
environmental gradients. We explored the plant species composition, distribution pattern …

Phyto-ecological studies are essential in understanding community structure, organization
and their response to changes in other environmental factors. In this study we analyzed the …

Intraspecific variation, including individual diet variation, can structure populations and
communities, but the causes and consequences of individual foraging strategies are often …
