Effects of an increase in summer precipitation on leaf, soil, and ecosystem fluxes of CO2 and H20 in a sotol grassland in Big Bend National Park, Texas. Oecologia. 151(4):704-718
Bouteloua curtipendula, Chihuahuan Desert, Dasylirion leiophyllum, Ecosystem fluxes, Precipitation manipulation. Global climate models predict that in the next century precipitation in desert regions of the USA will increase, which is anticipated to affect biosphere,/atmosphere exchanges of both CO2 and H2O.
