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.
