Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This Short Report examines an underexplored link between atmospheric drying and soil organic carbon (SOC) stability. Rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is becoming an increasingly important hydroclimatic stressor for terrestrial ecosystems.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is strategically important in Iran, yet its cultivation in the semi‐arid Zagros is constrained by limited and variable water, heat stress and heterogeneous soils, while conventional suitability assessments are deterministic, rarely validated spatially and provide no measure of confidence.

Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can
