dc.description.abstractPlease read abstract in the article. HIGHLIGHTS • African arid and grassy shrubland site reveals consistent net C sinks over three growing seasons. • Savanna site more productive but has lower and more variable water use efficiency than Nama-Karoo site. • Soil moisture observed as a key factor in modulating the relationship between nighttime respiration and soil temperature at both sites.
