Extreme climatic events such as heatwaves and droughts may affect the ability of terrestrial ecosystems to sequester carbon. Recently, INRA and CNRS researchers carried out a large-scale experiment exploring this topic at the Ecotron facility in Montpellier. Using samples of permanent upland grassland, they made an unexpected discovery: elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide help grasslands recover from extreme climatic events and limit the negative impacts of water stress.
