Abstract

In this erratum, we correct a typographical error in “Temporal variability in grassland leaf water content is strongly and similarly dependent on soil moisture among dominant grasses.” In this correction, we strengthen our findings that leaf water content in the dominant grasses of grasslands in the Northern Great Plains is directly tied to changes in soil moisture. Consequently, this soil moisture is non-linearly correlated with time since rainfall events, showcasing a relationship between precipitation and leaf water content. Our results indicate a strong and nearly identical vulnerability of two key forage grasses to fine-scale fluctuations in soil water availability, suggesting high vulnerability of semi-arid rangeland ecosystems of the western US to climate-driven changes in water availability.
