Changes in forest biodiversity, for example, are known to lag behind changes in a habitat's temperature and precipitation. Grasslands, on the other hand, are responding to climate change almost in ...

A new study has investigated how the relationship between mean annual precipitation (MAP) and grassland biomass changes when one or more nutrients are added. The authors show that precipitation ...

The biome concept organizes large-scale ecological variation. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall.

Grasslands encompass the savannas of Africa ... It's caused by factors that include both climate variations and human activities. Another pressure factor, which originates from both natural ...

The vegetation in northern high latitudes was likely dense forest before cooling temperatures transformed it into grassland during the Late Miocene —a shift that further accelerated global cooling.

A slow-moving weather pattern stalled over the area, swelling playa lakes and rivers, but the city said upgrades helped ...

Interactions among nutrients govern the global grassland biomass–precipitation relationship. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2025; 122 (15) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2410748122 Cite ...
