Article Synopsis
- The survival of seedling plants is heavily influenced by drought, which can lead to high mortality rates, especially in floodplain grasslands.
- A greenhouse experiment showed that drought reduces several growth measures like biomass, plant height, and leaf area, but interestingly increases specific leaf area (SLA) while decreasing root biomass.
- Species from wet floodplain grasslands are more negatively impacted by drought compared to those from dry grasslands, suggesting that climate change-induced droughts could differentially affect plant species depending on their habitat.
