“HIGHLIGHTS
• The regional pattern of IGF in west-central Florida is dominated by the characteristics of the Upper Floridan Aquifer.
• IGF plays a major role in the available water for partitioning and watershed aridity index.
• Groundwater pumping affects IGF, and the change in IGF counteracts the human impact on available water..."

#Aridity modulates #grassland biomass responses to combined #drought and soil nutrient addition 🌿 .
See our latest advances published in Nature #Ecology & Evolution, in which we have seen that #fertilization mitigates the effects of drought more effectively in arid grasslands, while its effects are reduced in humid regions or on nitrogen-rich soils.

Land degradation and desertification
"Drylands now make up 40% of all land on Earth, excluding Antarctica. Three-quarters of the world’s land suffered drier conditions in the past 30 years, which is likely to be permanent...Unlike droughts – temporary periods of low rainfall – aridity represents a permanent, unrelenting transformation. Droughts end. When an area’s climate becomes drier, however, the ability to return to previous conditions is lost. The drier climates now affecting vast lands across the globe will not return to how they were, and this change is redefining life on Earth.”
“For the first time, a UN scientific body is warning that burning fossil fuels is causing permanent drying across much of the world, with potentially catastrophic impacts affecting access to water that could push people and nature even closer to disastrous tipping points.”
“Intensive agriculture is the leading driver of land and soil degradation, fuelling biodiversity loss, carbon sequestration decline, and worsening floods, droughts and wildfires – issues rapidly increasing across the globe.”
