Plant sizes and shapes above and belowground and their interactions with climate
Summary Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and shapes remain poorly characterized across climate regimes. We investigated relationships among shoot and root system size and climate.

In 1980, IIASA joined with the Centro de Investigacion en Quimica Aplicada (CIQA) to study resource development alternatives for arid and semi-arid regions. This joint effort is motivated by the perception that planning and programming of development projects, as they typically are applied to projects for drylands, are inadequate and pose serious ...
