Role of Glycine max in improving drought tolerance in Zanthoxylum bungeanum [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Intercropping may improve community stability and yield under climate change. Here, we set up a field experiment to evaluate the advantages of cultivating Z anthoxylum bungeanum with Capsicum annum, and Z.

High risk of growth cessation of planted larch under extreme drought

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Larch trees are widely used in afforestation and timber plantations. Yet, little is known on how planted larch trees cope with increasing drought. We used a tree-ring network of 818 trees from 31 plantations spanning most of the distribution of Larix ...

Ecosystem Resistance and Resilience after Dry and Wet Events across Central Asia Based on Remote Sensing Data

Remote Sensing, 2023
Climate change forecasts indicate that the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events will increase in the future; these changes will have important effects on ecosystem stability and function.

Phenological responses to extreme droughts in a Mediterranean forest

Global Change Biology, 2010
AbstractMediterranean regions are projected to experience more frequent, prolonged and severe drought as a consequence of climate change. We used a retractable rainfall shelter, to investigate the impact of extreme droughts on the development of Quercus ilex leaves, flowers and fruit.

Resistance and resilience of a semi-arid grassland to multi-year extreme drought

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Globally, extreme droughts are likely to become more frequent, more intense, and longer in duration with climate change. Understanding the impacts of drought on ecosystem function (i.e., resistance) and its recovery after drought (i.e., resilience) is ...

Examining the Characteristics of Drought Resistance Under Different Types of Extreme Drought in Inner Mongolia Grassland, China

Remote Sensing
Extreme drought events may become more frequent with climate change. Understanding the impact of extreme drought on grassland ecosystems is therefore crucial for the long-term sustainability of ecosystems.

Drought sensitivity of Norway spruce is higher than that of silver fir along an altitudinal gradient in southwestern Germany [PDF]

, 2013
For Central Europe, climate projections foresee an increase in temperature combined with decreasing summer precipitation, resulting in drier conditions during the growing season.

Extreme droughts and floods in the Amazon forest

, 2022
<p>In recent years, the Amazon forest has experienced several major droughts (2010, 2015/16) and floods (2012, 2014, 2021). Extreme events represent a threat to the Amazons important functions, but these perturbations also provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms.

When does extreme drought elicit extreme ecological responses? [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2019
Abstract Global climate change models predict an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme droughts, with uncertain ecological impacts across ecosystems. In particular, it is not clear when extreme droughts will elicit extreme ecological responses.

Seasonal timing of extreme drought regulates N2O fluxes in a semiarid grassland

, 2023
Terrestrial ecosystems are important sources of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas which can be strongly impacted by increasing droughts in association with climate change.
