Size of precipitation pulses controls nitrogen transformation and losses in an arid Patagonian ecosystem
(Springer, 2010-05)
Arid ecosystems receive precipitation pulses of different sizes that may differentially affect nitrogen (N) losses and N turnover during the growing season. We designed a rainfall manipulation experiment in the Patagonian ...
Changes in soil moisture predict soil carbon losses upon rewetting in a perennial semiarid steppe in SE Spain
(Elsevier Science, 2017-02-01)
Our understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of soil CO2 pulses after rainfall events is still limited and thus, our capacity to predict the consequences of future changes in precipitation patterns for dryland ...
Grass seed production in the central Monte desert during successive wet and dry years
(Springer, 2010-05)
In desert regions, water availability triggers primary production, which determines seed production, the composition and size of soil seed reserves and the abundance and behaviour of seed-eating animals. In the central ...
Do vegetative and reproductive phenophases of deciduous tropical species respond similarly to rainfall pulses?
(Northeast Forestry UnivHarbinChina, 2013)
Phenotypic flexibility in basal metabolic rate is associated with rainfall variability among populations of rufous-collared sparrow
(2012)
Phenotypic flexibility in metabolic rates allows organisms to reversibly adjust their energy flow to meet challenges imposed by a variable environment. In turn, the food habits hypothesis (FHH) predicts that species or ...
