Controls of Soil Respiration in the Global Croplands
Pramod Pokhrel + Varaprasad Bandaru
Unlike natural ecosystems, agricultural practices influence microclimatic conditions in croplands. This drives fluctuations in soil respiration (Rs), yet there is limited...

Increased Likelihood and Intensification of Global Agricultural Droughts Under Compound Meteorological Droughts and Hot Extremes
Yitong Zhang + Zengchao Hao + Yuting Pang ...
Soil moisture deficits, or agricultural droughts, play a critical role in agricultural water management. Agricultural droughts are primarily driven by precipitation shortages...
