Plant species richness and shrub cover attenuate drought effects on ecosystem functioning across Patagonian rangelands

Drought is an increasingly common phenomenon in drylands as a consequence of climate change. We used 311 sites across a broad range of environmental conditions in Patagonian rangelands to evaluate how drought severity and temperature (abiotic factors) and vegetation structure (biotic factors) modula...
