摘 要:The dynamics of biomass and soil moisture in semiarid land is driven by both the current rainfall and the ecosystem *** on a meta-analysis of existing experiments,an ecosystem model was used to calculate the effect of the rainfall interannual variability on the pattern of biomass and soil moisture in a shrub *** was found that rainfall interannual variability enabled shrubs to be more competitive than grasses,and to maintain the dominant role over a longer *** rainfall interannual variability resulted in complex soil moisture *** soil water recharge in wet years alternated with discharge in drought years.
