C3/C4 Grass Abundance Shifts in Australia by Qiaoyun Xie is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study maps the shifts in C3 and C4 grass abundance in Australian grasslands from 2003 to 2017 using satellite data, revealing significant inter-annual fluctuations and a long-term increase in C4 grasses. The changes in grass composition were found to be significantly associated with warm/cool season rainfall ratios rather than temperature or annual rainfall. These findings provide valuable insights for ecological forecasting and understanding the impacts of climate change on grassland ecosystems.
