Soil fungi remain active and invest in storage compounds during drought independent of future climate conditions

The paper shows that soil fungi maintain growth and increase storage compound investment during drought, regardless of future climate conditions.

Unsaturated intercellular vapor pressure is relevant for leaf water heavy isotope enrichment

This study quantifies how unsaturated intercellular vapor pressure affects leaf water heavy isotope enrichment using boreal forest and large-scale data, showing its relevance via Mechanism 1.

Microbial diversity ensures the stability of carbon cycling processes under increasing temperature in model soils

This study shows that microbial diversity in soils helps maintain stable carbon cycling under temperature changes, with lower diversity leading to greater instability in carbon use efficiency at higher temperatures.

Spatial arrangement and biofertilizers enhance the performance of legume-millet intercropping system in rainfed areas of southern India

This study shows that biofertilizers enhance the biomass yield of pigeon pea-finger millet intercropping systems regardless of site or spatial arrangement, but do not improve water relations in finger millet due to interspecific competition.

Soil nutrient availability alters tree carbon allocation dynamics during drought

This study shows that soil nutrient availability mitigates drought stress in trees by enhancing root metabolism and carbon allocation to belowground tissues.
