The relationship between plant aboveground biomass and diversity typically follows a
unimodal pattern, showing a positive correlation in resource‐poor habitats and a negative …

Drought, defined as a marked deficiency of precipitation relative to normal, occurs as
periods of below-average precipitation or complete failure of precipitation inputs, and can be …

Global change–induced extreme droughts are increasing in grasslands worldwide, and
drought legacies may greatly affect the responses of grassland ecosystems to these …

The Eurasian steppe is the largest steppe region in the world and is an important part of the
global grassland ecosystem. The eastern Eurasian steppe has favorable hydrothermal …

The interrelation between climate change, biomass production, and rural poverty is an area
of growing concern, as these factors are intricately linked and often exacerbate one another …

Flash droughts, as sub-seasonal phenomenon, are characterized by their rapid onset and
significant impact on terrestrial ecosystems. However, understanding how vegetation …

Changes in net primary productivity (NPP) to global change have been studied, yet the
relative impacts of global change on grassland productivity at large scales remain poorly …

Land use patterns and vegetation coverage in semi-arid areas of the Loess Plateau have
undergone great changes due to the implementation of the “Grain for Green” project. The …

Estimates of grassland aboveground biomass (AGB) upscaled from the plot level to broad
scales are lacking extrapolation robustness across grassland biomes. This is because the …

Precipitation is a primary climatic determinant of grassland productivity, with many global
change experiments manipulating precipitation. Here we examine the impacts of …
