Plant functional types drive differential responses of grassland ecosystem functions along a precipitation gradient

Plant functional types drive differential responses of grassland ecosystem functions along a precipitation gradient

Climatic variations can profoundly impact the functioning of grassland ecosystem, and understanding the drivers is critical for predicting ecosystem function under future climate. However, whether and how the responses of multiple grassland ecosystem functions to precipitation across spatial scales...
