Future climate alleviates stress impact on grassland productivity through altered antioxidant capacity
Kim Naudts,J. Van den Berge,E. Farfan,Peter Rose,Hamada AbdElgawad,Reinhart Ceulemans,Ivan A. Janssens,Han Asard,I. Nijs +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how plants cope with different stressors under future climate conditions with elevated CO 2 concentrations and warmer temperatures and found that future climate-grown plants coped better with stress, i.e. above-ground biomass production was reduced less in future than in current climate.

Does an extreme drought event alter the response of grassland communities to a changing climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of drought on the response of grassland communities to a future climate and found that in the absence of drought, plant productivity was positively affected by future climate early in the growing season.

Combined effects of warming and elevated CO2 on the impact of drought in grassland species
TL;DR: In this paper, the combined effects of warming, elevated CO2 and drought were investigated to determine whether the response to drought is altered under future climate conditions, and the results showed that the response of plants to climate change is more robust to future conditions.

Do interactions with neighbours modify the above-ground productivity response to drought? A test with two grassland species
TL;DR: The results suggest that drought responses depended largely on the identity and the traits of the neighbours, demonstrating that current models to predict ecosystem functioning may be misleading by not sufficiently taking plant–plant interactions into account.

Altered response to nitrogen supply of mixed grassland communities in a future climate: a controlled environment microcosm study
J. Van den Berge,Kim Naudts,Costanza Zavalloni,Costanza Zavalloni,Ivan A. Janssens,Reinhart Ceulemans,I. Nijs +6 more
TL;DR: This article analyzed the response of constructed temperate grassland communities to five levels of nitrogen (N) supply, ranging from 0 to 150 kg N ha−1, under two climate scenarios.
