Drought-associated changes in climate and their relevance for ecosystem experiments and models
Description: Drought periods can have important impacts on plant productivity and ecosystem functioning, but climatic conditions other than the lack of precipitation during droughts have never been quantified. The impacts of including or excluding climatic parameters that correlate with drought are substantial. The authors of this work propose that both experimental and modeling efforts should take into account other environmental factors besides precipitation. [Source: Biogeosciences]
