Extreme drought is likely to become more frequent and intense as a result of global climate
change, which may significantly impact plant root traits and responses (ie, morphology …

Climate warming and elevated ozone (eO3) are important climate change components that
can affect plant growth and plant-microbe interactions. However, the resulting impact on soil …

Water‐use efficiency (WUE) has been recognized as an important characteristic of
ecosystem productivity, which links carbon (C) and water cycling. However, little is known …

As one of the greatest political and scientific issues, global warming is affecting the terrestrial
