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, und...
