Soil nitrogen regulates symbiotic nitrogen fixation in a legume shrub but does not accumulate under it

Ecosphere, 2021
Legumes in dryland ecosystems face the challenge of maintaining energetically costly symbiosis with N2‐fixing rhizobia, in a water‐ and nutrient‐limited environment. Controlled experiments showed a strong reduction in symbiotic N2 fixation in response to

Biocrusts intensify water redistribution and improve water availability to dryland vegetation: insights from a spatially-explicit ecohydrological model

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Biocrusts are ecosystem engineers in drylands and structure the landscape through their ecohydrological effects. They regulate soil infiltration and evaporation but also surface water redistribution, providing important resources for vascular vegetation.

Forest Restoration at Berenty Reserve, Southern Madagascar: A Pilot Study of Tree Growth Following the Framework Species Method

Land, 2021
Forest conservation and restoration are urgently needed to preserve key resources for the endemic fauna of dry southern Madagascar. This is a priority in the shrinking, seasonally dry forest of Berenty, a private reserve in Southern Madagascar.

Biogeography of global drylands [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2021
SummaryDespite their extent and socio‐ecological importance, a comprehensive biogeographical synthesis of drylands is lacking. Here we synthesize the biogeography of key organisms (vascular and nonvascular vegetation and soil microorganisms), attributes (functional traits, spatial patterns, plant–plant and plant–soil interactions) and processes ...

The PMIP4 simulated dryland aridity changes during the Last Interglacial

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The dryland is one of the most important land ecosystems on the planet, and its changes are closely bound up with one-third of the world’s population. Investigating dryland climate change during the Last Interglacial (LIG; ∼127 ka ago) can advance our ...

Optimizing Nitrogen Fertilizer for Wheat Production in Moisture-Deficit Areas of Northern Ethiopia

Journal of Tropical Soils
Depleting soil nutrients is among the significant factors affecting production and productivity in Ethiopia. From the nutrients, nitrogen is the most yield-limiting, which governs wheat production. Therefore, the study was conducted to examine the effect

Spatial and ecological variation in dryland ecohydrological responses to climate change: implications for management

Ecosphere, 2016
Ecohydrological responses to climate change will exhibit spatial variability and understanding the spatial pattern of ecological impacts is critical from a land management perspective.

Dryland Crop Classification Combining Multitype Features and Multitemporal Quad-Polarimetric RADARSAT-2 Imagery in Hebei Plain, China

Sensors, 2021
The accuracy of dryland crop classification using satellite-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is often unsatisfactory owing to the similar dielectric properties that exist between the crops and their surroundings. The main objective of this study
