With this said, research into grassland ecological processes mostly consists of single‐factor controlled experiments such as precipitation, temperature or grazing, and few studies have investigated the effects of synergistic interactions between multiple factors on grassland hydrological, soil and vegetation processes.

The response of soil water to different influencing factors is still unclear. There is a need for further research on the controlling factors of soil water in ecological slopes.

Our meta‐analysis was able to reveal average patterns and the influence of local climate and soil properties on eco‐hydrological responses to grasslands modifications and replacements, which have not been previously described.

ABSTRACT A critical linkage between hydrological and ecological processes is plant cover, yet the ecosystem‐level responses of aridland systems of varying plant cover to extreme precipitation events, predicted to increase in the future, have not been well studied.
