Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Flash drought affected grassland NPP most in summer.
- Association Flash drought affected grassland RUE most in spring.
- Association More frequent and intense flash droughts had greater vegetation impacts.
- Observation Flash drought caused moderate negative NPP and RUE anomalies in over 90% of grasslands.
- Observation The longest NPP response lag was two months.
- Observation NPP anomalies persisted for nearly two months after flash drought.
- Observation RUE was more sensitive to flash drought than NPP.
- Observation RUE responded within ten days.
- Association Highly drought-sensitive grasslands had shorter response durations, fewer anomalies, better recovery and greater drought tolerance.
- Association Large NPP and RUE values were not associated with increased drought tolerance.
- Observation Desert grasslands were the most drought tolerant.
- Observation Meadow grasslands were least drought tolerant and at highest flash drought risk.
