| Abstract |
It is not clear yet how extreme drought and nitrogen (N) deposition influence grassland ecosystem functions when they are considered together, especially in complex field conditions. To explore the response of theLeymus chinensismeadow ecosystem to manipulated extreme drought (45 days), N addition and their interaction, we measured leaf photosynthetic characteristics, aboveground phytomass on the community level and ecosystem C exchange in different treatments at the middle and the end of the drought period. The extreme drought treatment decreased the leaf net CO2assimilation rate and ecosystem C exchange [gross ecosystem productivity (GEP), ecosystem respiration and net ecosystem CO2exchange]. In contrast, the N addition treatment increased aboveground phytomass, GEP and net ecosystem CO2exchange. The effects of N addition on the drought susceptibility of theL. chinensismeadow ecosystem varied with drought severity. The N addition treatment alleviated drought-induced suppression of CO2exchange at the leaf and ecosystem levels in the middle of the drought period, whereas it exacerbated drought-induced suppression of the CO2exchange and aboveground phytomass on the community level at the end of the drought period. Given that dominance byL. chinensisis a characteristic of the studied ecosystem, knowledge of the traits ofL. chinensisand its response to multiple global change drivers will be crucial for predicting future ecosystem functions. Furthermore, increasing N deposition may affect the response of theL. chinensismeadow ecosystem to further droughts by increasing carbon allocation to roots and therefore root-shoot ratios. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,590,133
of 23,026,672 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#14,015
of 20,560 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,661
of 330,057 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#382
of 472 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,026,672 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,560 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,057 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 472 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
