Grasslands are structurally and functionally controlled by water availability. Ongoing global
change is threatening the sustainability of grassland ecosystems through chronic alterations …

Understanding the response of grassland production and carbon exchange to intra‐annual
variation in precipitation and nitrogen addition is critical for sustainable grassland …

Extreme drought can strongly impact belowground communities and biogeochemical
processes, including soil microbial community composition and extracellular enzyme …

Flash droughts, as sub-seasonal phenomenon, are characterized by their rapid onset and

Aim Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are two major limiting factors in terrestrial ecosystems.
Excessive N applications alter ecosystem functions by causing nutrient imbalances with P …

Drought events are projected to be more extreme and frequent in the future and have
profound influences on the structure and functions of terrestrial ecosystems. Thus, better …

The diversity and structure of plant and soil microbial communities are influenced by
temporal variability in environmental conditions (eg, precipitation); however, it is unclear …

Extreme drought events are expected to increase in frequency and severity, posing
significant threats to ecosystems worldwide. While considerable research has been …

More frequent and intense drought events resulting from climate change are anticipated to
become important drivers of change for terrestrial ecosystem function by affecting water and …

Quantifying the sensitivity of ecosystems to droughts, particularly with different seasonal
timing, could improve our predictions of ecosystem-climate feedbacks, but few experiments …
