TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new method for climate modeling based on the work of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

TL;DR: While no yield difference was observed among regions or different soil texture, wheat cultivation in the dryland was more prone to yield loss than in the non-dryland region, and potential causes and possible approaches that may minimize drought impacts are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide background on the main processes that affect plant and soil N isotope ratios and how they are affected by mycorrhizal fungi, climate, and microbial processing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected data from peer-reviewed publications between 1980 and 2015 which examined maize and wheat yield responses to drought using field experiments and performed unweighted analysis using the log response ratio to calculate the bootstrapped confidence limits of yield responses and calculated drought sensitivities with regards to those covarying factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify some current critical issues in the understanding of dryland systems and discuss how arid and semiarid environ- ments are responding to the changes in climate and land use.
