Shijie Ning et al. investigated the response of #Grassland #AbovegroundNetPrimaryProductivity (ANPP) to naturally occurring #PrecipitationExtremes, found that #ExtremeDrought decreased ANPP by an average of 40%, while #ExtremeWetness had a neutral effect on ANPP. The aridity-dependent response of ANPP to precipitation extremes demonstrates the ambient #Climate-dependent resistance of grasslands to these events.

✅ Our first #hackathon day is coming to an end!

📢 After an insightful opening session, the participants advanced with some structural work on the preferences of the participants regarding the hacking challenges awaiting for the next days. 🌐 Some of the challenges encompass efficient data handling, #EnergyProduction, #PrecipitationExtremes, and more 🌧️

🍻Finally, the group is able to engage and network in the ice-breaker session hosted by #WageningenUniversity
