Regardless of annual rainfall amount changes, daily rainfall events are becoming more
intense but less frequent with anthropogenic warming. Larger rainfall events and longer dry …

Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

The reclamation of coastal wetlands for agriculture has expanded considerably over the last
40 years in China. Wetland reclamation could substantially alter soil properties, but so far, a …

What is addressed as growing season in terrestrial ecosystems is one of the main
determinants of annual plant biomass production globally. However, there is no well …

Soil organic carbon (SOC), as the largest terrestrial carbon pool, plays an important role in
global carbon (C) cycling, which may be significantly impacted by global changes such as …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws
translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives …

Direct quantification of terrestrial biosphere responses to global change is crucial for
projections of future climate change in Earth system models. Here, we synthesized …

Plant–herbivore interactions have evolved in response to coevolutionary dynamics, along
with selection driven by abiotic conditions. We examine how abiotic factors influence trait …

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 …
