Drought, widely studied as an important driver of ecosystem dynamics, is predicted to
increase in frequency and severity globally. To study drought, ecologists must define or at …

Soil enzymes are crucial in mediating ecosystems' responses to environmental drivers, so
that the comprehension of their sensitivity to drivers of global change can help make …

Extreme droughts have serious impacts on the pools, fluxes and processes of terrestrial
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. A deep understanding is necessary to explore the …

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 …

Drought has broad and deep impacts on vegetation. Studies on the effects of drought on
vegetation have been conducted over years. Recently, the cumulative effect of drought is …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil contribute to global warming and are in turn
substantially affected by climate change. However, climate change impacts on N2O …

Drought can strongly modify plant diversity and ecosystem processes. As droughts are
expected to intensify in the future, it is important to better understand plant responses to this …

The increased frequency of drought events in recent years is known to be responsible for
significantly altering plant biodiversity in many of Earth's ecosystems, though the specifics of …

Abstract Purpose of the Review Weather and climate extremes substantially affect global-
and regional-scale carbon (C) cycling, and thus spatially or temporally extended climatic …

Increasing drought conditions under global warming are expected to alter the frequency and
distribution of large and high-intensity wildfires. However, our understanding of the impact of …
