    Abstract
    Intensification of the global hydrological cycle with atmospheric warming is expected to substantially alter precipitation regimes, and due to the tight functional relationship between precipitation and net primary productivity (NPP), these changes in climate will have large impacts on multiple NPP-linked ecosystem services such as forage production and carbon storage. At regional scales, the sensitivity of aboveground NPP (ANPP) to variation in annual precipitation increases with decreasing site-level ANPP, with this variation in sensitivity tied to turnover of plant communities over the ...
