Recovery time, the time it takes for ecosystems to return to normal states after experiencing
droughts, is critical for assessing the response of ecosystems to droughts; however, the …

Background Dormancy in higher plants is an adaptive response enabling plant survival
during the harshest seasons and has been more explored in woody species than in …

Identifying droughts and accurately evaluating drought impacts on vegetation growth are
crucial to understanding the terrestrial carbon balance across China. However, few studies …

Extreme seasonal droughts frequently occur in semiarid and arid areas of the world. They
can exert a profound influence on the physiological state of desert plants. Short-term rainfall …

Drought occurrence is increasing due to anthropogenic climate change. Drought can
negatively affect plants via reduced water below‐ground and increased evaporative …

Drought sensitivity is known to affect plant species distribution. However, since every stage
of plant life cycle has its own water requirements, plant performance and productivity is …

Climate change alters mean global surface temperatures, precipitation regimes, and
atmospheric moisture. Resultant drought affects the composition and diversity of terrestrial …

Background and aims Understanding plant adaptation to drought is a crucial challenge
under climate change. This study aimed to investigate root traits and water use of grass …

Global surface temperatures are projected to increase in the future; this will modify regional
precipitation regimes and increase global atmospheric drying. Despite many drought studies …

Restoration of degraded grasslands through active revegetation often involves re‐
