    Abstract
    Global circulation models predict that precipitation patterns in grasslands will both intensify and be characterized by more severe drought in the future. In these systems, the availability of water strongly controls ecosystem function, so changes in precipitation are likely to significantly alter biological communities and biogeochemical dynamics. Since these biogeochemical changes could feed back on climate drivers by influencing regional to global scale energy and water balance, predicted changes in grassland precipitation call for a better understanding of relationships between water ...
