Droughts are projected to increase in magnitude, frequency and duration in the near future. In rangelands, the provision of valuable ecosystem services such as forage supply for livestock productivity is intimately linked to rainfall patterns, which makes it particularly vulnerable to droughts. Nonetheless, rangelands can differ in their sensitivity to droughts as shown by strong differences in...
Question
Climate change scenarios predict alterations in interannual variability of precipitation and increases of extreme droughts. Drought effects will reflect ecosystems' sensitivity (i.e. the magnitude of the response relative to the change in amount of precipitation), with different consequences for plant communities and ecosystem functioning. However, sensitivity estimations across ecosystems...
