Rooting depth, water availability, and vegetation cover along an aridity gradient in Patagonia

TL;DR: Although water was accessible to roots in deeper soil layers in all habitats, as demonstrated by high soil moisture, earlier rain events were not fully utilized by the current plant cover during summer drought, and this study cannot explain the vegetation zonation along the transect on the basis of water supply to the existing plant cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-annual variation in primary production of a semi-arid grassland related to previous-year production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that one third of the unexplained variation is related to previous-year ANPP: ANPP per mm of precipitation was higher in years preceding by wet, more productive years than in years preceded by average years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Flooding and Drought on the Anatomy of Paspalum dilatatum
TL;DR: Both constitutive and plastic anatomical characteristics are likely to contribute to the ability of this species to occupy widely diAerent topographic positions and to resist temporal variations in water and oxygen availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraspecific variation in the resistance to flooding and drought in populations of Paspalum dilatatum from different topographic positions
Juan Loreti,Martín Oesterheld +1 more
TL;DR: This paper compares the responses to drought and flooding under glasshouse conditions of three populations of Paspalum dilatatum, a perennial C4 grass dominant at different positions along a topographic gradient in the flooding pampa of Argentina, showing that resistance to flooding was not related to resistance to drought at a population level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls of primary productivity and nutrient cycling in a temperate grassland with year‐round production
TL;DR: The results suggest that the environmental controls of aerial NPP in this grassland vary among seasons, differentially impact the major floristic groups, and affect the energy and nutrient transfer to herbivores.
