Microbial communities from arid environments on a global scale. A systematic review
J Vásquez-Dean, F Maza, I Morel, R Pulgar… - Biological Research, 2020 - Springer
Arid environments are defined by the lack of water availability, which is directly related to the
mean annual precipitation (MAP), and high values of solar irradiation, which impacts the …

Significant impacts of increasing aridity on the arid soil microbiome
Global deserts occupy one-third of the Earth's surface and contribute significantly to organic
carbon storage, a process at risk in dryland ecosystems that are highly vulnerable to climate …

Resource availability drives responses of soil microbial communities to short-term precipitation and nitrogen addition in a desert shrubland
Desert microbes are expected to be substantially sensitive to global environmental changes,
such as precipitation changes and elevated nitrogen deposition. However, the effects of …
