Impacts of compound precipitation extremes on belowground dynamics in a mesic grassland
Altmetrics
Abstract
Climate change is altering precipitation regimes globally and is expected to cause more frequent and extreme droughts as well as intensification of precipitation patterns (e.g., fewer and larger precipitation events) in many regions around the world. Drought has long been a phenomenon of interest to ecologists and has been widely studied as a key driver of ecosystem dynamics. To study drought, ecologists must define or at least operationalize what constitutes drought conditions. How this is accomplished in practice is unclear, so I begin my dissertation with a literature review that assessed how ...
