Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

Multiple stressors, such as warming and invasions, often occur together and have
nonadditive effects. Most studies to date assume that stressors operate in perfect synchrony …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Ecologists have long studied patterns, directions and tempos of change, but there is a
pressing need to extend current understanding to empirical observations of abrupt changes …

Climate change is radically altering the frequency, intensity and spatial scale of severe
weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts, floods and fires. As the time interval shrinks …

The impacts of climate extremes on terrestrial ecosystems are poorly understood but
important for predicting carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change. Coupled climate–carbon …

Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Drylands cover 41% of Earth's surface and are the largest source of interannual variability in
the global carbon sink. Drylands are projected to experience accelerated expansion over …

Drought has large impacts on the vegetation growth of global terrestrial ecosystems,
particularly grasslands. Extensive in-situ studies have shown that the impact of drought on …

Climate dominantly controls vegetation over most regions at most times, and vegetation
responses to climate change are often asymmetric with temporal effects. However …
