Our new findings from field experiments show that aridity in Mediterranean drylands limits productivity more than decomposition, which remains relatively high under dry conditions because of high litter quality and abiotic decay mechanisms.

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean-type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration a....
