Understanding dryland dynamics is essential to predict future climate trajectories. However,
there remains large uncertainty on the extent to which drylands are expanding or greening …

Drylands cover about 40% of the terrestrial land surface and account for approximately 40%
of global net primary productivity. Water is fundamental to the biophysical processes that …

Drylands cover 41% of Earth's surface and are the largest source of interannual variability in
the global carbon sink. Drylands are projected to experience accelerated expansion over …

Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change have been explored in many regions
worldwide. While continued drying and warming may alter process rates and deteriorate the …

Drylands make up roughly 40% of the Earth's land surface, and billions of people depend on
services provided by these critically important ecosystems. Despite their relatively sparse …

Drylands are lands where soil moisture content is constrained by climatic variables, low
rainfall, and high solar radiation, to the extent that annual evapotranspiration is (at least …

Increasing aridity is one major consequence of ongoing global climate change and is
expected to cause widespread changes in key ecosystem attributes, functions, and …

Drylands cover 40% of the global terrestrial surface and provide important ecosystem
services. While drylands as a whole are expected to increase in extent and aridity in coming …

Drylands are a critical part of the earth system in terms of total area, socioeconomic and
ecological importance. However, while drylands are known for their contribution to inter …

Dryland ecosystems may be especially vulnerable to expected 21st century increases in
temperature and aridity because they are tightly controlled by moisture availability. However …
