Green water—terrestrial precipitation, evaporation and soil moisture—is fundamental to
Earth system dynamics and is now extensively perturbed by human pressures at continental …

Land degradation reduces soil functioning and, consequently, the services that soil
provides. Soil hydrological functions are critical to combat soil degradation and promote soil …

This article reviews current drought effects on environmental systems. It stresses the need
for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

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

Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

A major challenge for advancing our understanding of the functional role of soil microbial
communities is to link changes in their structure and function under climate change. To …

Soil degradation is a worsening global phenomenon driven by socio‐economic pressures,
poor land management practices and climate change. A deterioration of soil structure at …

Soil microbial communities play a pivotal role in regulating ecosystem functioning. But they
are increasingly being shaped by human-induced environmental change, including intense …

Soils form the skin of the Earth's surface, regulating water and biogeochemical cycles and
generating production of food, timber, and textiles around the world. Changes in soil and its …

We review results from field experiments that simulate drought, an ecologically impactful
global change threat that is predicted to increase in magnitude, extent, duration and …
