Terrestrial Poor Ecohealth Areas Continue to Expand Across Asian Drylands
Abstract The 7th Rio declaration principle emphasizes global collaboration to protect and restore ecosystem health. While dryland ecosystem health (EH) remains critical to global sustainability agendas, its long‐term regional dynamics remain poorly constrained across the Asian drylands (AD), where land management decisions increasingly shape ecological

Hot Droughts Increase the Likelihood and Impacts of Abrupt Drought‐to‐Pluvial Transitions Worldwide
Abstract Hot droughts are intensifying under anthropogenic warming, yet whether extreme heat systematically alters the triggering of abrupt drought‐to‐pluvial transitions and their downstream impacts remains poorly understood. Here, we identify global drought‐to‐pluvial abrupt transition (DPAT) events and isolate the influence of antecedent thermal ...

Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity

Shade is a team effort in a South African forest‐savanna mosaic
This study examined whether individual or ecosystem‐level traits are responsible for excluding shade‐intolerant grasses in forest understorey by developing a physical model to predict shade cast by the crown of an individual tree, and the canopy of densely packed trees.

Mesoscale Covariation in the Plant–Soil Neighbourhood of a South African Montane Grassland
ABSTRACT Plant–soil relationships are the foundation of terrestrial life, sustaining global ecosystems through biomass and food production, nutrient cycling and microbial activity, and ecosystem regulation. To better understand plant–soil relationships in a changing world, we investigated mesoscale covariation in the plant–soil neighbourhood of a South
