Meet David John Eldridge, co-EiC of #CPDrylands, as he sheds light on the challenges faced by drylands, including drought and poverty, and how the journal is working to make a difference. 🎥 bit.ly/3P3xf4r #drylands #drought #climatechange

The final version of this #OpenAccess article has just been published in Cambridge Prisms Drylands and looks great! Check it out cambridge.org/core/journals/…

I am thrilled with this manuscript 😃 Nature Food nature.com/articles/s4301… Led by David John Eldridge , and with the amazing collaboration of Emilio Guirado Fernando T. Maestre ManuDelgadoBaquerizo

Warming above critical thresholds can trigger abrupt changes in montane ecosystems. At around 10 °C, even small increases in temperature can cause dramatic increases in biodiversity and decreases in soil carbon and fertility. In PNAS: ow.ly/Xx4P50VFuy3

New paper, resulting from a collaboration with ManuDelgadoBaquerizo and Yurong Liu The impact of multiple stressors permeates also into deeper soils, and this study, focused on soils from China, also finds a clear multi-functionality pattern. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

Land degradation and water scarcity are urgent challenges—threatening ecosystems, economies, and communities in dryland regions around the world. On World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, we highlight the role of science in restoring land and building long-term

Today is #DesertificationAndDroughtDay 🌍Our lab at KAUST studies how to restore and manage drylands to boost biodiversity, fight climate change & support livelihoods Let’s #RestoreLand and #UnlockOpportunities—for people and the planet

Our latest study, just out in Global Change Biology, illustrate how grazing herbivores shape vegetation patterns in global drylands, creating larger plant clusters & enhancing shrub density onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… Another great output from the European Research Council (ERC) funded #BIODESERT project!

How does grazing shape vegetation fragmentation in drylands? In our new GEB Journal study, we surveyed 171 sites across 25 countries to find out doi.org/10.1111/geb.70… Using satellite data + fieldwork, we mapped how vegetation fragmentation responds 2 grazing, climate & soil👇

As droughts become longer and more intense, their toll on ecosystems could be far greater than we thought. Our new paper in Science Magazine shows how prolonged & extreme droughts cause dramatic, cumulative losses in ecosystem productivity across the globe science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
