Distinct geographic patterns and drivers of plant, bacterial, and fungal β-diversity in semi-arid grasslands: Insights from a 1,700 km transect in northern China
Abstract. The β-diversity, as the variation in community composition across habitats, is crucial for understanding regional community assembly and biodiver
njakobI don't want to say, that it's a little bit dry in the middle of Germany between Main (river) and Donau (Danube, river), but it's really dry around here and the Forest fire danger index is 4 of 5.

David Salesa 🌱#Aridity modulates #grassland biomass responses to combined #drought and soil nutrient addition 🌿 .
See our latest advances published in Nature #Ecology & Evolution, in which we have seen that #fertilization mitigates the effects of drought more effectively in arid grasslands, while its effects are reduced in humid regions or on nitrogen-rich soils.

Aridity modulates grassland biomass responses to combined drought and nutrient addition - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Grasslands tend to be limited by both nutrient and water availability. Here the authors use standardized field experiments to show that the effects of nutrient addition on grassland biomass may cancel out the negative impact of drought, but the outcome depends on aridity and other local conditions.
