Water is a scarce resource in many of the Earth’s ecosystems. This scarcity is likely to increase in the course of climate change. This, in turn, might lead to a considerable decline in plant diversity. Using experimental data from all over the world, a team of scientists have demonstrated for the first time that plant biodiversity in drylands is particularly sensitive to changes in precipitation.
