Rain use efficiency (RUE) is an important indicator for identifying the response of plant production to variation in precipitation patterns, especially in semiarid ecosystem grasslands of Inner Mongolia. We have investigated the response and spatial patterns of RUE to precipitation patterns based on five years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, and 2013) of records from semiarid ecosystem sites across Inner Mongolia. Our results showed thatRUEADMwas lowest in the wettest year (2012) and highest in the year following the driest year (2008). There was no significant correlation betweenRUEADMandRUETDMin typical and desert steppe.RUETDMwas strongly correlated with both annual precipitation (AP) and growing season precipitation (GSP) compared toRUEADM.RUEADM, therefore, cannot be used in place ofRUETDM.RUEADMincreased with species richness. The relationship betweenRUEADMand species richness was significantly correlated in meadow steppe, typical steppe, and desert steppe. Our findings can shed light on the spatial utilization pattern of seasonal rainfall in semiarid grassland ecosystems.
