Globally, flooding is one of the most damaging abiotic stresses, besides drought, that affects
17 million km2 of land surface annually. Recent research indicates that climate change is …

Precipitation (PPT) is a primary climatic determinant of plant growth and aboveground net
primary production (ANPP) over much of the globe. Thus, PPT–ANPP relationships are …

Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant
competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and …

Drylands cover 40% of the global terrestrial surface and provide important ecosystem
services. While drylands as a whole are expected to increase in extent and aridity in coming …

Climatic changes are altering Earth's hydrological cycle, resulting in altered precipitation
amounts, increased interannual variability of precipitation, and more frequent extreme …

Primary production, a key regulator of the global carbon cycle, is highly responsive to
variations in climate. Yet, a detailed, continental‐scale risk assessment of climate‐related …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the second‐largest terrestrial carbon (C) flux. Although Rs has been
extensively studied across a broad range of biomes, there is surprisingly little consensus on …

Climate change is altering the interactions among plants and soil organisms in ways that will
alter the structure and function of ecosystems. We reviewed the literature and developed a …

Precipitation changes modify C, N, and P cycles, which regulate the functions and structure
of terrestrial ecosystems. Although altered precipitation affects above‐and belowground C …

Climate‐change assessments project increasing precipitation variability through increased
frequency of extreme events. However, the effects of interannual precipitation variance per …
