Seeing roots from space: aboveground fingerprints of root depth in vegetation sensitivity to climate in dry biomes.
With predicted climate change, drylands are set to get warmer and drier, increasing water stress for the vegetation in these regions. Plant sensitivity to drier periods and drought events will largely depend on trait strategies to access and store water, often linked to the root system. However, understanding the role... -

Potential adaptive strategies for 29 sub-Saharan crops under future climate change
Climate change is expected to severely impact cultivated plants and consequently human livelihoods, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Increasing agricultural plant diversity (agrobiodiversity) could overcome this global challenge given more information on the climatic tolerance of crops and their wild relatives. Using >200,000 worldwide occurrence records for 29 major crops...
