Summer dormancy, drought survival and functional resource acquisition strategies in California perennial grasses.

Annals of botany - 1 Aug 2016

Balachowski Jennifer A, Bristiel Pauline M, Volaire Florence A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evidence suggests drought severity is increasing due to climate change, but strategies promoting severe drought survival in perennial grasses have been seldom explored. This is particularly true of summer dormancy, an adaptation common in summer-dry Mediterranean-type climates. In addition, though theory predicts superior drought survival results in lower potential productivity, studies...
