DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2018.04.020
Abstract: Abstract Greater aridity predicted with climate change in drylands worldwide will affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling and the associated ecosystem functions. Despite >90% of soil N occurring in organic forms, the pathways of soil organic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/2150704x.2018.1455234
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mapping impervious surface area (ISA) in arid/semiarid regions is of great importance because of the vulnerable ecological situation there. However, using remote sensing data for ISA mapping in arid/semiarid landscapes is still very difficult… read more here.

Convergency and Stability Responses of Bacterial Communities to Salinization in Arid and Semiarid Areas: Implications for Global Climate Change in Lake Ecosystems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.741645
Abstract: Climate change has given rise to salinization and nutrient enrichment in lake ecosystems of arid and semiarid areas, which have posed the bacterial communities not only into an ecotone in lake ecosystems but also into… read more here.
