- Intervention effect Drought significantly reduced aboveground biomass accumulation.
- Observation Four ephemeral species differed in tolerance and response to precipitation.
- Mechanism Erodium oxyrhinchum avoided drought by accelerating its life history.
- Mechanism Malcolmia scorpioides avoided drought by accelerating its life history.
- Mechanism Erodium oxyrhinchum alleviated drought effects by adjusting leaf traits.
