Methodology I: Detecting and projecting grassland change: from plots to landscape

We conducted a systematic review of the scientific experimental methods used to study climate change effects in grasslands. The data do not concern the reported impacts themselves, but rather how the studies were conducted. We were interested in: what methods were used, what treatments were tested, how much replication was used, how big the plots were, how long the study lasted, and so on. We used this information to help identify gaps in the approach to predicting the biological effects of climate change in grasslands.
