This study assessed the vulnerability of grassland communities in the Soutern Great Plains to climate changing using four climate scenarios in atmospheric-ocean general circulation models. Within each modeled scenario, the spatial patterns of productivity were predicted based on temperature, rainfall, and soil composition.
