- W2185180622 abstract "Current global climate models predict significant rainfall change for California. The Mediterranean climate, with its pronounced seasonality of rainfall, experienced by California’s annual grasslands, makes these grasslands ideal ecosystems for studying changes in the quantity and timing of rainfall. In 2006, we continued our third year of experimental rainfall additions and also explored the effects of natural interannual rainfall variability on net C storage and loss in annual grasslands. Soil respiration and net primary productivity (NPP) were measured in treatment and control plots over three growing seasons (water years, or WYs) that varied in length and intensity. In treatment plots, we increased annual rainfall by 50% and simulated one early- and one late-season storm to increase wet-season length. The early- and late-season rain events significantly increased soil respiration for two to four weeks after wetting, but annual CO 2 fluxes were resilient to 50% augmentation of wet-season rainfall. Interannual variability in precipitation had large and significant effects on C cycling. In the wettest year of the study (WY 05), NPP was 742 ± 111 g biomass m-2, while in the driest year (WY 03), NPP was 483 ± 46 g m2. Changes in the seasonal timing of rainfall significantly affected soil respiration. Abundant rainfall late in the wet season in WY 04, a year with average total rainfall, led to greater net ecosystem C losses due to a ~50% increase in soil respiration relative to other years. Our results suggest that C cycling in annual grasslands will be more sensitive to altered rainfall distribution, rather than rainfall intensity, and that a longer or later wet season will result in significant C losses from annual grasslands. Objectives Our main objective in this study was to investigate the above- and belowground response of annual grassland C cycling to variation in the amount and seasonal distribution of rainfall. We addressed this objective via two separate approaches: a “natural,” unmanipulated experiment, in which we exploited the extant interannual variability in rainfall quantity and timing over three seasons; and, coupled with this, a rainfall addition experiment which increased the intensity of wet-season storms (by a 50 % increase over ambient rainfall) and lengthened the wet season. Wet-season extension was accomplished by adding two distinct rainfall events per year, referred to as “wet-up events,” which bracketed (i.e., occurred just prior to and immediately following) the natural wet season. The goal of this field-based rainfall manipulation experiment was to identify potential feedbacks to the climate system through changes in ecosystem C storage and loss resulting from altered precipitation regimes." @default.
