Vegetation resistance to increasing aridity when crossing thresholds depends on local environmental conditions in global drylands

Abstract The crossing of aridity thresholds triggers abrupt changes in multiple functional and structural ecosystem attributes across global drylands. While we understand the consequences associated with aridity thresholds, the key factors influencing dryland vegetation resistance when crossing them...
