EVENT

Effects of extreme weather events (drought, heavy rain, freeze-thaw cycles) and biodiversity on ecosystem function

Field experiments established at the University of Bayreuth in 2005 investigated how grassland and dwarf-shrub communities respond to drought, heavy rainfall and freeze–thaw cycles. A focus was how plant-community composition and diversity influence responses to extreme weather events.
