Altered precipitation patterns resulting from climate change will have particularly significant
consequences in water‐limited ecosystems, such as arid to semi‐arid ecosystems, where …

Ecological processes in arid lands are often described by the pulse-reserve paradigm, in
which rain events drive biological activity until moisture is depleted, leaving a reserve. This …

Multiple lines of evidence suggest climate change will result in increased precipitation
variability and consequently more frequent extreme events. These hydroclimatic changes …

Soil respiration (R s) represents the largest flux of CO2 from terrestrial ecosystems to the
atmosphere, but its spatial and temporal changes as well as the driving forces are not well …

Livestock grazing activities potentially alter ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in
grassland ecosystems. Despite the fact that numerous individual studies and a few meta …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil contribute to global warming and are in turn
substantially affected by climate change. However, climate change impacts on N2O …

Climate change is intensifying the hydrologic cycle and is expected to increase the
frequency of extreme wet and dry years. Beyond precipitation amount, extreme wet and dry …

Although projections of precipitation change indicate increases in variability, most studies of
impacts of climate change on ecosystems focused on effects of changes in amount of …

The global hydrological cycle is predicted to become more intense in future climates, with
both larger precipitation events and longer times between events in some regions …

摘要叶经济谱(leaf economics spectrum) 概念自提出以来, 已受到广泛关注.
它第一次在全球尺度上定量分析植物功能性状及其关系, 从而量化和概括权衡策略(trade-off) …
