Seasonal changes in soil moisture drive the phenology of grassland plants during the growth period, yet we do not understand the biochemical processes underlying seasonal changes in grass photosynthesis. This lack of understanding at least partially stems from the paucity of information describing the metabolic and stomatal responses of dominant C4grass species to drought. Here, we characterized seasonal patterns in plant physiology, including stomatal and non-stomatal limitations of photosynthesis, for two dominant C4grass species,Bouteloua curtipendulaandSchizachyrium scoparium. We also tested how rainfall reduction might modify seasonal patterns in photosynthesis for both species. Specifically, we predicted that drought would reduce carboxylation (Vcmax) and electron transport (Jmax), thereby limiting net CO2assimilation (A) and suppressing biomass forBouteloua curtipendulaandSchizachyrium scoparium. We tested these predictions using the first in situ drought experiment to measure the impact of drought on C4physiology. Our results demonstrate that photosynthesis of co-occurring, dominant C4grasses is primarily limited by RuBP regeneration. Interestingly,Jmaxwas not reduced by drought for eitherB. curtipendulaorS. scoparium, enabling both species to maintain constantAunder drought. Seasonal changes in soil moisture did decreaseJmax, which in turn reducedA, forS. scoparium. Photosynthesis ofB. curtipendula, on the other hand, remained stable throughout the growing season. That two common C4species possess such different biochemical and photosynthetic responses to soil moisture highlights the physiological variability inherent within plant functional groups, and underscores the need for more field studies of C4biochemistry.
