Grassland Vegetation Changes and Nocturnal Global Warming
Abstract
Global minimum temperatures ( T MIN ) are increasing faster than maximum temperatures, but the ecological consequences of this are largely unexplored. Long-term data sets from the shortgrass steppe were used to identify correlations between T MIN and several vegetation variables. This ecosystem is potentially sensitive to increases in T MIN . Most notably, increased spring T MIN was correlated with decreased net primary production by the dominant C 4 grass ( Bouteloua gracilis ) and with increased abundance and production by exotic and native C 3 forbs. Reductions in B. gracilis may make this system more vulnerable to invasion by exotic species and less tolerant of drought and grazing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
