e0“Five of the six dominant species(Erodium oxyrrhynchum,Trigonella arcuata,Alyssum linifolium,Ceratocarpus arenarius and Hyalea pulchella)showed a significant positive growth response with increasing water input.”
e1“Compared to the control,the above-ground biomass productivity of the five plant species watered with 40 or 80 mm was increased by 86%-230%.”

- Observation Six dominant ephemeral species contributed over 60 percent of synusia above-ground biomass.
- Intervention effect Erodium oxyrrhynchum growth increased significantly with water input; watering with 40 or 80 mm increased above-ground biomass productivity by 86%-230% across the five responsive species relative to control.
- Intervention effect Trigonella arcuata growth increased significantly with water input; the five responsive species had biomass productivity increases of 86%-230% under 40 or 80 mm watering relative to control.
- Intervention effect Ceratocarpus arenarius growth increased significantly with water input; the five responsive species had biomass productivity increases of 86%-230% under 40 or 80 mm watering relative to control.
- Intervention effect Hyalea pulchella growth increased significantly with water input; the five responsive species had biomass productivity increases of 86%-230% under 40 or 80 mm watering relative to control.
- Intervention effect Enhanced water input significantly changed species proportions of above-ground biomass.
- Intervention effect C.arenarius biomass share increased more than other species under enhanced water input, suggesting potentially greater future dominance.
- Intervention effect E.oxyrrhynchum biomass share increased more than other species under enhanced water input, suggesting potentially greater future dominance.
- Intervention effect Enhanced water input significantly increased ephemeral density and coverage.
- Intervention effect Enhanced water input may strengthen ephemeral sand-dune stabilization.
- Intervention effect Enhanced precipitation could increase desert grassland livestock carrying capacity and promote ecosystem restoration.
