| Popis: | The duration of climate anomalies has been increasing across the globe, leading to ecosystem function loss. Thus, we need to understand the responses of the ecosystem to long‐term climate anomalies. It remains unclear how ecosystem resistance and resilience respond to long‐term climate anomalies, for example, continuous dry years at a regional scale. Taking the opportunity of a 13‐year dry period in the temperate grasslands in northern China, we quantified the resistance and resilience of the grassland in response to this periodic dry period. We found vegetation resistance to the dry period increased with mean annual precipitation (MAP), while resilience increased at first until at MAP of 250 mm and then decreased slightly. No trade‐off between resistance and resilience was detected when MAP Resistance and resilience of grasslands to a decade‐long dry climate was investigated. Resistance increased with mean annual precipitation (MAP), while resilience increased until at MAP of 250 mm and then decreased slightly. No trade‐off between resistance and resilience was found in xeric grasslands. |
