Can life‐history traits predict the response of forb populations to changes in climate variability? (2010, neutral): “Parmesan & Yohe 2003; Pounds et al. 2006), but few studies have considered the impacts of altered climate variability ( Knapp & Smith 2001; Knapp et al. 2002; Adler et al. 2006).”
Latitudinal patterns of magnitude and interannual variability in net ecosystem exchange regulated by biological and environmental variables (2009, background): “For example, productivity increases in wet years are much more pronounced than reductions in productivity during drought years (Knapp & Smith, 2001).”
The Role of Seed and Vegetative Reproduction in Plant Recruitment and Demography in Tallgrass Prairie (2006, background): “A decline in available meristems or a delay in emergence in C4 species could lead to a greater contribution of subdominant species to aboveground shoot populations, as well as limiting net primary production on infrequently burned sites (Benson 2001; Knapp and Smith 2001).”
Foliar respiration acclimation to temperature and temperature variable Q10 alter ecosystem carbon balance (2005, neutral): “NOBS 487* 3 Bond-Lamberty et al. (2001) HARV 745 8 Knapp & Smith (2001) KONZ 528w 21 Knapp et al. (1998)”
Analysing eco‐evolutionary dynamics—The challenging complexity of the real world (2019, background): “As having temporal series of data is important, we here make a plea to develop research programs on eco-evolutionary dynamics that involve long-term ecological research (LTER) sites (Knapp & Smith, 2001) and/or sites amenable to resurrection ecology approaches (Franks et al., 2018).”
Convergence across biomes to a common rain-use efficiency (2004, background): “However, biomes differ substantially in sensitivity of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) to between-year variation in precipitatio”
Ecosystem stability and compensatory effects in the Inner Mongolia grassland (2004, background): “The values of CV comm for these Inner Mongolia steppes are comparable to those for the North America grasslands (25–35%”
Response of vegetation to drought time-scales across global land biomes (2012, background): “These areas contain dry biomes (including dry forests, scrublands, steppes) with very low ANPP (1, 2), which show the highest correlations with the SPEI.”
A global relationship between the heterotrophic and autotrophic components of soil respiration? (2004, background): “NPP is influenced by numerous abiotic factors, and can exhibit large year-to-year variation (Fang et al., 2001; Knapp & Smith, 2001).”
Whole ecosystem metabolic pulses following precipitation events (2008, background): “Similarly, differences in vegetation community may influence pulse responses where (1) grassland dominated systems may be more responses to environmental fluctuations ( Knapp & Smith 2001 ) leading to larger pulses or (2) the increased organic matter commonly associated with woodlands may lead to la”
Trees improve grass quality for herbivores in African savannas (2007, background): “…that, particularly in dry and nutrient-poor savannas where rainfall undergoes high inter-annual fluctuations, trees are important in maintaining pasture quality for both livestock and wildlife; and this influence may become more important if climate change reduces rainfall (Knapp and Smith, 2001).”
Contingent Conclusions: Year of Initiation Influences Ecological Field Experiments, but Temporal Replication is Rare (2010, background): “This interannual biotic variation often has substantial impacts on interspecific interactions (Riginos & Young 2007; Veblen 2008), the structure of communities (Pitt & Heady 1978; Bakker et al. 2003), and the functions of ecosystems (Sala et al. 1988; Knapp & Smith 2001).”
Long-term oscillations in grassland productivity induced by drought (2002, background): “…among them temperature (Raich et al. 1997), precipitation (Rosenzweig 1968; Sims & Singh 1978; Deshmukh 1986; Sala et al. 1988; Pandey & Singh 1992; Knapp & Smith 2001), light (Knapp & Seastedt 1986; Seastedt et al. 1991), length of growing season (Leith 1975), nutrient availability (Chapin et…”
An ecological perspective on extreme climatic events: a synthetic definition and framework to guide future research (2011, background): “2), and while the reduction in production is significant ecologically, it is well within the natural range in variability observed for this system (Knapp & Smith 2001).”
