Persistence and production of perennial grasses under water deficits and extreme temperatures: importance of intraspecific vs. interspecific variability (2012, background): “Among perennial C3 forage grasses, Dactylis glomerata has been shown to be efficient in tolerating dehydration under arid summer conditions (Volaire, 2008; Annicchiarico et al., 2011).”
Tradeoffs between functional strategies for resource-use and drought-survival in Mediterranean rangeland species (2013, background): “However, n environments such as rangelands and grasslands, where light s not a limiting resource, there is much disagreement regarding n the benefits provided by rapid light capture during the groing season and the species’ ability to withstand drought with the rrival of the dry period (Bazzaz, 1996”
Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events (2014, background): “The variation in community mean traits revealed significant responses for LDMC, LCC and SLA.”
