Abstract Changes in precipitation regimes have significant effects on soil carbon (C) cycles;
however, these effects may vary in arid versus humid areas. Additionally, the corresponding …

Eutrophication is a major driver of species loss in plant communities worldwide. However,
the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon are controversial. Previous studies have …

Extreme climatic conditions are major drivers of ecosystem function and dynamics and their
frequency is increasing under climate change. Climatic conditions interact with local …

Quantifying the sensitivity of ecosystems to droughts, particularly with different seasonal
timing, could improve our predictions of ecosystem-climate feedbacks, but few experiments …

Variations in species diversity and soil properties in response to future climate change is a
key focus area in ecological research. The influence of precipitation amount on plant …

Desert plant communities play a crucial role in enhancing desert ecosystem productivity and
stability but are highly susceptible to environmental changes owing to their limited resilience …

Temperature and precipitation are the main factors determining plant community succession
and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in natural grasslands. However, most …

Global change alters how terrestrial ecosystems function and makes them less stable over
time. Global change can also suppress the development and effectiveness of arbuscular …

Climate change has one of the most dramatic impacts on plant species diversity at the global
scale. However, compared to global warming, there are few reports of the effects of changes …

Questions Interannual precipitation changes, both in amount and frequency, are expected to
increase due to climate change, and these changes could dramatically affect the structure …
