The ecological paradox of the ‘Dust Bowl’ drought: the past can inform the future
The 1930’s Dust Bowl drought in central United States, characterized by a decade of low rainfall and high temperatures, led to widespread and surprising shifts in the composition and functioning of native grasslands. We have been able to reproduce key aspects of these grassland responses to extreme drought with a four-year field experiment. Based on our experiment and analyses of historic climate records, we propose that these responses can be linked to alterations in precipitation seasonality, which can affect ecosystem function in ways not expected from the traits of the dominant species.
