Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

While the positive relationship between plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF)
is well established, the extent to which this is mediated via belowground microbial …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Agricultural intensification has had long-lasting negative legacies largely because of
excessive inputs of agrochemicals (eg, fertilizers) and simplification of cropping systems (eg …

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning, but it is unknown
how co-occurrence networks within these communities respond to disturbances such as …

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality.
Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry …

The ability of ecosystems to withstand disturbances and maintain their functions is being
increasingly tested as rates of change intensify due to climate change and other human …

Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Global change is a defining feature of the Anthropocene, the current human-dominated
epoch, and poses imminent threats to ecosystem dynamics and services such as plant …
