Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change have been explored in many regions
worldwide. While continued drying and warming may alter process rates and deteriorate the …

The few percent of soil organic carbon (SOC) among mineral components form the interface
of climate, plant growth, soil biological processes, physical transport infrastructure, and …

Although water is the most abundant molecule on the Earth's surface, the availability of
water is the factor that most strongly restricts terrestrial plant production on a global scale …

Purpose Soil water repellency (SWR) can interrupt water infiltration that may decline plant
growth and potentially trigger soil erosion. Until now research has been mainly focused on …

Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread phenomenon that influences patterns of soil
wetting, runoff, evapotranspiration and availability of water for plants. In natural ecosystems …

Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread natural phenomenon that results from a
complex interplay between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and …

Theory suggests that gradual environmental change may erode the resilience of ecosystems
and increase their susceptibility to critical transitions. This notion has received a lot of …

The extent (determined by the repellency indices RI and RIc) and persistence (determined
by the water drop penetration time, WDPT) of soil water repellency (SWR) induced by pines …

Advances in computing technology, new and ongoing restoration initiatives, concerns about
climate change's effects, and the increasing interdisciplinarity of research have encouraged …

Sustainable management of social-ecological systems requires an understanding of how
anthropogenic climate-and land use change may disrupt interactions between human …
