A global atlas of the dominant bacteria found in |

Here we conducted a global analysis of the bacterial communities found in surface soils from 237 locations across six continents and 18 countries (fig. S1) to (i) identify the most dominant (i.e., most abundant and ubiquitous) bacterial phylotypes worldwide; (ii) determine which of these dominant phylotypes tend to co-occur and share similar environmental preferences; (iii) map the ...

The rise of compound warm-season droughts –

They argued that low moisture dries air masses in Southern , which, as they move northward, decrease cloudiness and enhance the atmospheric evaporative demand. Our hydrologic simulation is in agreement with their hypothesis, showing that, during the compound warm-season events of CEU, January to April moisture deficits in MED ...
