Advances in root ecology have revealed that root standing biomass is higher in species‐rich plant communities than in species‐poor communities. Currently, we do not know whether this below‐ground diversity effect is the result of enhanced root production or reduced root mortality or both, which is essential information to understand ecosystem functioning, as it determines C sequestration and N...
Ecosystems will likely be affected by changing rainfall patterns in dry environments and roots will play a major role in plant responses. However, little is known on root dynamics in response to changing rainfall in nature. In a rainout shelter experiment conducted in a semiarid shrub-steppe in south-eastern Spain, we manipulated both the amount (30% reduction all year round) and seasonal rainfall...
