Spring 2020
Grasslands cover a quarter of the planet’s terrestrial surface and constitute 70% of the world’s agricultural land area. Grasslands provide clean water, facilitate effective nutrient cycling, and provide necessary habitat and forage for livestock and wildlife. In addition, grasslands have the...

Ecosystem sensitivity to variation in precipitation and defoliation across grasslands of Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Climate models project a greater likelihood of increases in precipitation variability and droughts over the Great Plains of North America. Drought’s interactions with other co-occurring factors, such as grazing, can lead to substantial and long-lasting changes to ecosystem goods and services. In...

Examining contingencies of the plant community–grazing relationship at multiple scales across North America
DownloadFall 2023
Defoliation is a globally ubiquitous driver of plant community structure and function. However, plant community responses to defoliation remain challenging to predict as they are highly context-dependent. Following defoliation, plant community diversity and production may increase, decrease, or...

Extracellular enzyme activity, greenhouse gas emissions and soil microbial communities responses to drought and defoliation in northern temperate grasslands
DownloadFall 2023
Grassland ecosystems cover more than 40% of the global land area and provide many ecological goods and services, therefore, it is important to sustain these terrestrial ecosystems. One of the ecological services they provide is their potential to act as a carbon (C) sink. However, northern...
