Soil microbial community responses to multiple experimental climate change drivers.
Researchers agree that climate change factors such as rising atmospheric [CO2] and warming will likely interact to modify ecosystem properties and processes. However, the response of the microbial communities that regulate ecosystem processes is less predictable. We measured the direct and interactive effects of climatic change on soil fungal and bacterial communities (abundance and composition...
متن کاملDeveloping frameworks to assess impacts of multiple drivers of change on grassland system
Grassland systems face many simultaneous pressures including market and policy compliance that operate from local to global scale. The ability to adapt to these pressures against a background of constrained natural resources and inputs is vital to the continued success of the grassland livestock industry and all those dependent on its outputs. New Zealand and Uruguay collaborators have been dev...
متن کاملPredicting species responses to climate change: demography and climate microrefugia in California valley oak (Quercus lobata)
Anticipating species movement under climate change is a major focus in conservation. Bioclimate models are one of the few predictive tools for adaptation planning, but are limited in accounting for (i) climatic tolerances in preadult life stages that are potentially more vulnerable to warming; and (ii) local-scale movement and use of climatic refugia as an alternative or complement to large-sca...
متن کاملEffects of Climate Change on Grassland Biodiversity
There is increasing evidence that the impact of climate change on the productivity of 9 grasslands will at least partly depend on their biodiversity. A high level of biodiversity may confer 10 stability to grassland ecosystems against environmental change, but there are also direct effects of 11 biodiversity on the quantity and quality of grassland productivity. To explain the manifold 12 inter...
متن کاملImpacts of climate change drivers on C4 grassland productivity: scaling driver effects through the plant community.
Climate change drivers affect plant community productivity via three pathways: (i) direct effects of drivers on plants; (ii) the response of species abundances to drivers (community response); and (iii) the feedback effect of community change on productivity (community effect). The contribution of each pathway to driver-productivity relationships depends on functional traits of dominant species...
