The impact of seed deficiency on productivity and on negative drought effect in semi‐natural grassland

Questions Vegetative re‐sprouting and recruitment from seed determine grassland recovery after severe drought, but the mechanisms determining vegetation composition are not fully understood. We ask how the timing of drought and seed availability modify the drought legacy effects on composition and function in a temperate, semi‐natural grassland. Location Negrentino, southern Alps, Switzerland. Methods Under automated rainout shelters, we...
