Leaf trait relationships can aid our understanding of plant adaptations and ecosystem functioning. With climate change driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme environmental conditions, these relationships may be altered. However, the sensitivity of these relationships to extreme drought stress rem...

Drylands are expanding as a consequence of ongoing climate change, yet the mechanisms through which soil microbiomes are associated with grassland productivity across aridity gradients remain unclear. Here, we characterized bacterial and fungal communities across four sites spanning a natural aridity gradient (from sem...

Extreme droughts are becoming more frequent and strongly affect ecosystem productivity, yet their impact on belowground productivity—key to the carbon cycle—remain underexplored. Using a coordinated drought experiment across six Eurasian grassland sites spanning a precipitation gradient, we found that extreme drought...
