Steppe vegetation endures drastic temperature fluctuations, drought, even wildfires. “We’re doing more study on how plants have adapted over time to extreme weather conditions and significant ...

The study showed an initial advance in the timing of the growing season or its 'phenology' for both the meadow and steppe for the first 15 years. But from 2000 until 2006 that trend was reversed.
