TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION CONTROLS OVER SOIL, LEAF AND ECOSYSTEM LEVEL CO2 FLUX ALONG A WOODY PLANT ENCROACHMENT GRADIENT

Woody plant encroachment (WPE) into historic grasslands not only alters ecosystem structure but also yields a mosaic of vegetative growth-forms that differ in their inherent physiological capacities and physical attributes. C₃ plants tend to have a relatively broad range of temperature function but...
