Understanding how recovery-related vegetation resilience varies along hydroclimatic gradients is important for evaluating vegetation sustainability in water-limited regions. Here, using satellite-derived vegetation indices and resilience metrics derived from critical slowing down theory, we assessed the spatial pattern...

Drylands are increasingly crucial for global food supply, and grain cultivation there continues to expand. Newly cultivated croplands in these regions are often assumed to be biophysically marginal and low yielding. However, the food‐security benefits, environmental costs, and associated trade‐offs of this expansion re...
