Journal ArticleDOI
Legacies of precipitation fluctuations on primary production: theory and data synthesis
Osvaldo E. Sala,Laureano A. Gherardi,Lara G. Reichmann,Esteban G. Jobbágy,Debra P. C. Peters +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that ANPP will respond to climate-change-driven alterations in water availability and, more importantly, that the magnitude of the response will increase with time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation legacies in desert grassland primary production occur through previous‐year tiller density
TL;DR: Legacies in ANPP were similar in absolute value for both types of precipitation transitions, and their magnitude was a function of the difference between previous and current-year precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of dominant grass and shrub species to water manipulation: an ecophysiological basis for shrub invasion in a Chihuahuan Desert Grassland
TL;DR: The greater sensitivity of the grass to low soil moisture suggests that grasslands may be increasingly susceptible to shrub encroachment in the face of the predicted increases in drought intensity and frequency in the desert of the southwestern USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water controls on nitrogen transformations and stocks in an arid ecosystem
Lara G. Reichmann,Lara G. Reichmann,Osvaldo E. Sala,Osvaldo E. Sala,Debra P. C. Peters,Debra P. C. Peters +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of water availability on nitrogen stocks and transformations in an arid ecosystem was assessed in a field experiment with five levels of precipitation input (−80, −50, ambient, +50, +80%) and two levels of N fertilization (ambient or 10 g·m−2·yr−1 NH4NO3) in a desert grassland of the Chihuahuan Desert.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil animal responses to moisture availability are largely scale, not ecosystem dependent: insight from a cross-site study.
Zachary A. Sylvain,Diana H. Wall,Karie Cherwin,Debra P. C. Peters,Lara G. Reichmann,Osvaldo E. Sala +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that communities of soil animals at local scales may respond predictably to changes in moisture availability regardless of ecosystem type but that additional factors, such as climate variability, vegetation composition, and soil properties may influence this relationship over larger scales.
