Dynamics of short-term ecosystem carbon fluxes induced by precipitation events in a semiarid grassland

<p>Infrequent and small precipitation (PPT) events characterize PPT patterns in semiarid grasslands; however, plants and soil microorganisms are adapted to use the unpredictable small pulses of water. Several studies have shown short-term responses of carbon and nitrogen mineralization rates (...
