Vertical decoupling of soil nutrients and water under climate warming reduces plant cumulative nutrient uptake, water‐use efficiency and productivity
Warming‐induced desiccation of the fertile topsoil layer could lead to decreased nutrient
diffusion, mobility, mineralization and uptake by roots. Increased vertical decoupling …

Fading regulation of diurnal temperature ranges on drought-induced growth loss for drought-tolerant tree species
Warming-induced droughts caused tree growth loss across the globe, leading to substantial
carbon loss to the atmosphere. Drought-induced growth loss, however, can be regulated by …

Warming and rainfall reduction alter soil microbial diversity and co-occurrence networks and enhance pathogenic fungi in dryland soils
In this 9-year manipulative field experiment, we examined the impacts of experimental
warming (2° C, W), rainfall reduction (30% decrease in annual rainfall, RR), and their …
