Whole ecosystem metabolic pulses following precipitation events (2008, background): “The precipitation was distributed characteristically for the region, with many small events and drying time intervals and few large events and drying intervals (see Huxman et al . (2004b) for detailed analysis).”
Translocation of nitrogen and carbon integrates biotic crust and grass production in desert grassland (2008, background): “These microbial processes not only contribute to soil fertility, but they also respond at different, generally lower, soil moisture thresholds than plants (Austin et al. 2004; Huxman et al. 2004).”
Soil respiration in perennial grass and shrub ecosystems: Linking environmental controls with plant and microbial sources on seasonal and diel timescales (2008, background): “…and photosynthesis rates have been shown to be important drivers of soil respiration across a range of ecosystem types [ Craine et al. , 1999; Ho¨gberg et al. , 2001; Kuzyakov and Cheng , 2001; Huxman et al. , 2004; Xu et al. , 2004; Tang et al. , 2005; Baldocchi et al. , 2006; Liu et al. , 2006].”
Linking growth strategies to long‐term population dynamics in a guild of desert annuals (2007, background): “Species with low values of both NAR and LAR may be best equipped for years of low rainfall, which are dominated by a relatively constant number of small rainfall events (Huxman et al. 2004).”
‘Breathing’ of the terrestrial biosphere: lessons learned from a global network of carbon dioxide flux measurement systems (2008, background): “…with this mechanism, there is a growing number of studies reporting that ecosystem respiration of arid and semi-arid ecosystems increases immediately after rain events, especially when rain occurs during the dry season (Huxman et al. 2004; Xu et al. 2004; Ivans et al. 2006; Jarvis et al. 2007).”
