The frequency and intensity of droughts have increased in recent decades, and climate
change is a major driver of global droughts. Among abiotic stress factors, drought is one of …

Carbon (C) storage in forest soils can be enhanced through increasing organic C input and
decreasing soil heterotrophic respiration (RH). The inhibitory effect of biochar on RH has …

Precipitation regimes are changing in response to climate change, yet understanding of how
forest ecosystems respond to extreme droughts and pluvials remains incomplete. As future …

Intensification of the Earth's hydrological cycle amplifies the interannual variability of
precipitation, which will significantly impact the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, it is still …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest terrestrial carbon (C) efflux to the atmosphere and is
predicted to increase drastically through global warming. However, the responses of Rs to …

Global warming intensifies the hydrological cycle, which results in changes in precipitation
regime (frequency and amount), and will likely have significant impacts on soil respiration (R …

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of droughts, with potential
impacts on carbon (C) release from soil (ie soil respiration, Rs). Although numerous studies …

Examining responses of soil respiration to climate change is crucial for understanding future
terrestrial carbon (C) cycling. However, the interaction between climate warming and …

The changes of surface vegetation cover, caused by the return of farmland to forest and
grassland, can not only effectively control soil erosion, but also significantly increase soil …

Both increasing frequency of drought and drought duration are expected for many terrestrial
ecosystems under on-going climate change. However, our understanding of the drought …
