Effects of monsoon precipitation variability on the physiological response of two dominant C₄ grasses across a semiarid ecotone

For the southwestern United States, climate models project an increase in extreme precipitation events and prolonged dry periods. While most studies emphasize plant functional type response to precipitation variability, it is also important to understand the physiological characteristics of dominant...
