| Research Abstract |
Recently, there has been a worldwide trend for intensified drought. Furthermore, in general, projections of climate models have suggested that the frequency and intensity of extreme weathers including droughts will likely increase in the future. Given this background, the present study investigated a series of mechanism of how meteorological drought (below-normal precipitation) affects soil moisture, vegetation and animals and made an assessment of vulnerability of the steppe vegetation in terms of sensitivity and resilience to drought.
