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 …

Drought events are increasing globally, and reports of consequent forest mortality are
widespread. However, due to a lack of a quantitative global synthesis, it is still not clear …

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 …

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

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 …

Global change–induced extreme droughts are increasing in grasslands worldwide, and
drought legacies may greatly affect the responses of grassland ecosystems to these …

Dryland vegetation productivity is strongly modulated by water availability. As precipitation
patterns and variability are altered by climate change, there is a pressing need to better …

In terrestrial ecosystems, climate change forecasts of increased frequencies and magnitudes
of wet and dry precipitation anomalies are expected to shift precipitation–net primary …

Droughts can strongly affect grassland productivity and biodiversity, but responses differ
widely. Nutrient availability may be a critical factor explaining this variation, but is often …

Soil enzymes are central in the response of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change, and
their study can be crucial for the models' implementation. We investigated for 1 year the …
