Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Plants, as immobile organisms, depend on their roots to access soil resources efficiently and
cost‐effectively. To achieve this goal, maximize productivity, and adapt to variable …

Our perception of plants is determined by their visible organs: stem, branches and leaves.
The underground parts of a plant are rarely seen; indeed the root system is usually hidden …

Warmer and drier conditions increase forest mortality worldwide. At the same time, nitrogen
deposition, longer growing seasons and higher atmospheric CO 2 concentrations may …

Ecological factors are important for shallow landslide risk assessment. Various ecological
indicators have been previously proposed and studied. However, because the functional …

Weathered bedrock ecohydrology is indispensable for terrestrial ecosystem stability;
however, the influence on the hydrological processes is poorly understood in loess hilly …

Trends for increased vegetation greenness based on satellite-derived data have been
repeatedly published for the temperate grassland biome (including forest steppes) of …

The ability to predict the spatial distribution of tree root system variables (eg, the Root system
