Unlike terrestrial plants in forest ecosystems that have a slow response toward climate change, short-lived dominant species of grassland are highly responsive to climate change. As per the research by the University of Michigan, ecosystems like grasslands are responding to climate change almost in real time. Researchers state that identifying such rapid ecological changes in grassland communities is vital for early detection and accurate projection of climate change impacts.
