Semiarid grasslands of the Nebraska Sandhills provide critical ecosystem services and are
an important forage resource for the local cattle industry. Over the past decades, warming …

The objective of this study was to compare forage production and foliar and basal cover
responses of plant communities, plant functional groups, and individual species between …

The rising temperature, altering precipitation, and increasing extreme events under climate
warming affect the stability and sustainability of grassland ecosystems. The dynamics of …

Abstract Throughout the Great Plains, aboveground annual net primary productivity (ANPP)
is a critical ecosystem service supporting billions of dollars of commerce and countless …

Inter-(between years) and intra-(within year) annual variability of precipitation are high on
rangelands. We used replicated rainout shelters in a southern tallgrass prairie ecosystem to …

Biomass allocation in grasslands is key to understanding plant response to environmental
changes and grazing management. Yet, global studies on how this split between above …

While northern temperate grasslands are important for supporting beef production, it
remains unclear how grassland above-and belowground biomass responds to long-term …

Questions Inter‐annual variability in precipitation is expected to increase in grasslands,
potentially causing additional stress to systems already impacted by anthropogenic activities …

Growing season aridity and livestock grazing seasonality can influence primary productivity
of perennial grasses in dryland systems. For this study, we used a long-term dataset (1967 …

Aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in grasslands is an important integrator of
terrestrial ecosystem function, a key driver of global biogeochemical cycles, and a critical …
