Research shows how extreme and prolonged drought causes unprecedented productivity loss
Multi-year extreme droughts cause far greater long-term damage to grassland ecosystems than previously expected.

🤔 Is it possible to identify non-native species without knowing their origin – just by measuring how they impact the ecosystem?
