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

Agricultural intensification has had long-lasting negative legacies largely because of
excessive inputs of agrochemicals (eg, fertilizers) and simplification of crop** systems (eg …

Climate change is pushing species outside of their evolved tolerances. Plant populations
must acclimate, adapt, or migrate to avoid extinction. However, because plants associate …

Plant communities strongly influence soil microbial communities and, in turn, soil carbon (C)
cycling. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is an important parameter for predicting soil C …

Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of drought events, affecting soil
functions including carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling, which are driven by growing …

Abiotic stress poses a severe danger to agriculture since it negatively impacts cellular
homeostasis and eventually stunts plant growth and development. Abiotic stressors like …

Background The severity and frequency of drought are expected to increase substantially in
the coming century and dramatically reduce crop yields. Manipulation of rhizosphere …

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events highlights the need to understand how
soil microbiomes respond to such disturbances. Here, metagenomics was used to …

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

With the warming global climate, drought stress is considered to be the most important
abiotic factor limiting plant growth and yield in the world. Drought stress has serious impacts …
