Climate change alters mean global surface temperatures, precipitation regimes, and
atmospheric moisture. Resultant drought affects the composition and diversity of terrestrial …

We review results from field experiments that simulate drought, an ecologically impactful
global change threat that is predicted to increase in magnitude, extent, duration and …

Droughts affect plant communities, but their impacts may be mediated by soil biota. Soil
communities may ameliorate drought stress, and droughts may leave legacies of altered soil …

The occurrence of multi‐year drought is predicted to increase globally with climate change.
However, it is unclear whether drought effects on ecosystems are progressive through time …

To improve projections of consequences of increasing intensity and frequency of drought
events for grasslands, we need a thorough understanding of species performance …

In many regions of the world, climate change is projected to reduce water availability
through changes in the hydrological cycle, including more frequent and intense droughts, as …

Eight perennial C-4 grasses from the Jornada del Muerto Basin in southern New Mexico
show five-fold differences in relative growth rates under well-watered conditions (RGR max) …

Drought and nutrient input are two main global change drivers that threaten ecosystem
function and services. Resolving the interactive effects of human-induced stressors on …

Questions Drought timing during the growing season can profoundly influence plant
diversity and cover, with subsequent impacts on ecosystem functions and services in …

Global surface temperatures are projected to increase in the future; this will modify regional
precipitation regimes and increase global atmospheric drying. Despite many drought studies …
