Subsurface geodiversity determines shrub resilience vs. mortality under long-term droughts in the Israeli Negev drylands
Shrubs, encompassing important ecosystem engineers in dryland environments, have experienced mass mortality due to long-term droughts across the northwestern Israeli Negev. This massive die-back, which has particularly affected the predominant shrub species Noaea mucronata, predominates edaphically...
