主 题:grassland net primary productivity precipitation–productivity relation drought climate change NDVI
摘 要:Precipitation(PPT)is the primary climatic determinant of plant growth and aboveground net primary productivity(ANPP)for many of the world’s major terrestrial ***,relationships between PPT and productivity can provide insight into how changes in climate may alter ecosystem functions *** PPT–ANPP relationships for grasslands are found remarkably similar around the world,but whether and how they change during periods of extended climatic anomalies remain ***,we quantifed how regional-scale PPTANPP relationships vary between an extended wet and a dry period by taking advantage of a 35-year record of PPT and NDVI(as a surrogate for ANPP)at 1700 sites in the temperate grasslands of northern *** found a sharp decrease in the strength of the spatial PPT–ANPP relationship during an 11-year period of below average *** attributed the collapse of this relationship to asynchrony in the responses of different grassland types to this decadal period of increased *** results challenge the robustness of regional PPT–productivity if aridity in grasslands is increased globally by climate change.
