Changes and drivers of vegetation productivity in China’s drylands under climate change
Environmental Research LettersIncreasing aridity can sharply reduce vegetation productivity in drylands, but elevated CO _2 and warming can enhance vegetation growth. However, the extent to which these positive effects counteract the negative effects of heightened aridity on ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Bacterial α‐diversity decreases, but stochasticity and community stability increase across the 15 m‐depth vertical profiles and along the degraded gradient within the active layer. The abundance and interaction of core taxa mainly control community stability in the active and permafrost layers, respectively.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Water scarcity poses a critical threat to global food security. A low‐power, flexible electromagnetic actuator is presented for smart drip irrigation systems. The device achieves precise, wide‐range flow modulation (0.05–5.8 mL/min) in response to real‐time plant demands, reducing water consumption compared to conventional flood irrigation.

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.
