Plant diversity enhances ecosystem resistance to increasing grazing pressure in global drylands

Grazing affects plant diversity, but plant diversity in turn may modulate the effect of grazing on the plant community. This global analysis explores the association between plant species richness and plant cover resistance to grazing intensity in drylands.

Unforeseen plant phenotypic diversity in a dry and grazed world

Analysis of 20 chemical and morphological plant traits at diverse sites across 6 continents shows that the transition from semi-arid to arid zones is associated with an unexpected 88% increase in trait diversity.

Vulnerability of mineral-associated soil organic carbon to climate across global drylands

Protection afforded by inorganic minerals is assumed to make mineral-associated organic carbon less susceptible to loss under climate change than particulate organic carbon. However, a global study of soil organic carbon from drylands suggests that this is not the case.

Hotspots of biogeochemical activity linked to aridity and plant traits across global drylands

In global drylands, soils tend to be more fertile beneath tree, shrub and grass islands. Soil fertility was greater beneath taller and wider plants but was unaffected by either grazing pressure or the type of herbivore.

Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events

Soils from 30 grasslands across Europe were subjected to 4 contrasting extreme climatic events under drought, flood, freezing and heat conditions, with the results suggesting that soil microbiomes from different climates share unified responses to extreme climatic events.

Biocrusts buffer against the accumulation of soil metallic nutrients induced by warming and rainfall reduction

Eduardo Moreno-Jiménez et al. experimentally manipulate rainfall and temperature in a Mediterranean dryland to explore the association of biocrusts with essential metallic nutrients. They find that biocrusts—communities of lichens, bryophytes and cyanobacteria on the soil surface—can buffer against the effects of warming and reduced rainfall on metallic nutrient availability.
