AI Summary

During the 2018 heat wave, meadows and pastures experienced drought‑related stress, prompting researchers at the University of Bonn to ask whether grasslands embedded in more diverse landscapes lose less yield than those surrounded by uniform terrain. Led by Marco Ferro and a colleague, the team investigated the role of landscape heterogeneity in buffering drought impacts on grassland productivity. Their analysis compared grassland performance across varied and monotonous surrounding environments to assess resilience differences. The study seeks to clarify how landscape composition influences drought‑induced yield losses.
