The article discusses the new global study of how shrubs and grasses respond to parched conditions. Topics include the deliberately blocking precipitation from falling at 100 research sites around the world, researchers found that a single year of drought can reduce the growth of vegetation by more than 80 percent, greatly diminishing its ability to absorb carbon dioxide, and procedure for creating artificial droughts in the field.
