- Summer drought alters plant‐mediated competition between foliar‐ and root‐feeding insects (2007, background): “It is common at the study site described below, where its cover abundance is unaffected by summer rainfall manipulations (Morecroft et al., 2004).”
- Defining the limit to resistance in a drought‐tolerant grassland: long‐term severe drought significantly reduces the dominant species and increases ruderals (2011, background): “2002) and ex-arable grasslands in England (Morecroft et al. 2004).”
- The UK Environmental Change Network: Emerging trends in the composition of plant and animal communities and the physical environment (2009, background): “Previous work at ECN sites (Morecroft et al., 2002; Morecroft et al., 2004) demonstrated that ruderal species increased in grassland communities following summer droughts, colonising gaps in the sward caused by the death of shallow-rooted grasses.”
- Ecotypes of European grass species respond differently to warming and extreme drought (2011, background): “Long-term monitoring of drought effects in grasslands proved that productivity reacted directly to summer drought (Morecroft et al. 2004).”
- Climate change effects on plant biomass alter dominance patterns and community evenness in an experimental old‐field ecosystem (2010, background): “Similar to other long-term studies (e.g., Morecroft et al., 2004; Dukes et al., 2005), we found that there was inter-annual variation in how plant communities responded to the treatments.”
