Precipitation temporal repackaging into fewer, larger storms delayed seasonal timing of peak photosynthesis in a semi‐arid grassland
Abstract
Against a backdrop of rising temperature, large portions of the western United States are experiencing fewer, larger and less frequent precipitation events. How such temporal ‘repackaging’ of precipitation alters the magnitude and timing of seasonal maximum gross primary productivity (GPPmax) remains unknown. Addressing this knowledge gap is critical, since changes to GPPmax magnitude and timing can impact a range of ecosystem services and management decisions.
