Global dryland areas are expanding due to climate change, and this expansion is
accompanied by an increased frequency and intensity of drought occurrences. The degree …

Groundwater represents a critical water source for plants, especially during drought, with
continuous groundwater availability widely associated with the presence of ecological …

Endophytes and rhizospheric microorganisms support invasive species' adaptation to
environmental stresses. Here, we review the impacts of endophytes, rhizospheric microbes …

Understanding the dynamics of carbon and water vapor fluxes in arid inland river basin
ecosystems is essential for predicting and assessing the regional carbon-water budget amid …

Arid and semi-arid environments correspond to one-third of the Earth's terrestrial surface. In
these environments, precipitation is an essential and limiting element for vegetation growth …

Given their high root plasticity, phreatophytes have flexible water use strategies and can
dynamically adjust their rooting depth for the effective uptake of water from soils and shallow …

Precise and efficient allocation of existing water resources is of great significance to protect
and restore desert riparian forests in inland river basins. However, the lack of detailed …

Investigating the dynamics of energy and water vapor exchange in oasis agroecosystems is
important to improve scientific understanding of land surface processes in desert-oasis …

The Caatinga biome, located in the northeastern region of Brazil, is the most populated
dryland region on the planet and extremely vulnerable to land degradation due to …

Widely distributed in arid and semiarid regions, phreatophytic roots extend into the saturated
zone and extract water directly from groundwater. In this paper, we implemented a …
