Moran et al. 2014<\/a> recently published a study integrating long-term observations of grassland dynamics with time series satellite observations to characterize relationships between aboveground net primary productivity (NPP) and precipitation anomalies. They revealed differences in the importance of current- and prior-year precipitation on NPP for C4 grasses thereby enhancing capabilities to predict grassland responses to changing climate.

Make your research more visible<\/h1>\n

Ever wondered where Southwestern Chapter members are working? Want to increase the visibility of your research? We are making it easy for you to contribute your published works to JournalMap<\/a>!<\/p>\n

JournalMap<\/a> is a powerful tool for visualizing and discovering scientific research throughout the World. We have created a collection representing published research conducted by members of the Southwestern Chapter of ESA<\/a>. Send a list of your cited works to Kristina Young<\/a> with the digital object identifier (DOI) and coordinates<\/strong> and the JournalMap team will add your published research to the database!<\/p>\n
