Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and smooth regression based on aridity for plant (a), bacterial (b) and fungal (c) community structures.

#EnvironmentalFiltering contributed more to the #β-diversity of plants, bacterial and fungal communities than #DispersalLimitation. #Aridity emerged as a key driver of β-diversity for above- and belowground communities in semi-arid #Grasslands.

#Drylands may look sparse aboveground, but the real strategy is #belowground. Across Southwest #Asia, #clonality doesn’t disappear with #aridity It peaks in the driest sites (again in #wetlands) Yes, #rhizomes are in the #desert! 🌱 1url.cz/5eKSZ #GoBelowground #ExFuMo

Maps of aridity categories for the reference period 1970–1999 for Worldclim, ERA5 and multimodel CMIP6. The maps do not show the Antarctic continent (entirely “cold”), but Antarctica is included in the computation of the proportion of aridity categories.

[8/8] L’aridification future prolonge les structures actuelles. Les zones sèches s’étendent surtout en périphérie des déserts existants.

Sequential Thresholds Shape Drylands' Multitrophic Response to Aridification We analyzed biodiversity responses across 290 global dryland ecoregions and found that all taxonomic and trophic groups, from microbes to mammals, showed abrupt threshold declines with increasing ari...

‘Unlike droughts - temporary periods of low rainfall - #aridity represents a permanent, unrelenting transformation.’
