Extreme rainfall and soil moisture play important roles in the survival, community composition, ecosystem function of desert plants. This study focused on arid riparian forests ecosystems Ebinur Lake Basin Xinjiang, China. We analyzed effects species indicator species, β diversity, turnover, nestedness using three consecutive years surveys. A zero-model combined with a Bayesian framework was used to explore response turnover rainfall, variance decomposition quantify relative importance spatial distance, factors determining composition. The results indicated following: (1) when high, richness abundance annual herbaceous plants increased. proportion based (32%) (58.1%) 2016 higher than that 2015 2017. Jaccard, Bray–Curtis, Chao indexes were significantly lower rainfall; however, lag effect also observed. (2) Soil explained 5% changes 12% factors, jointly 32% (3) showed high leads greater diversity low moisture. Rainfall had greatest explanatory power measured values (19.6%) (38%), factor for interaction between (26.2%). Our findings indicate drought drive differences plant playing dominant role. These provide basis understanding impact extreme events functions.

Drought is an increasingly critical global challenge, significantly impacting agricultural productivity, food security, and ecosystem stability. As climate change intensifies the frequency severity of drought events, innovative strategies are essential to enhance plant resilience sustain systems. This review explores vital role beneficial microbes in conferring tolerance, focusing on Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), mycorrhizal fungi, endophytes, actinomycetes, cyanobacteria. These microorganisms mitigate stress through diverse mechanisms, including osmotic adjustment, enhancement root architecture, modulation phytohormones, induction antioxidant defenses, regulation stress-responsive gene expression. Ecological innovations leveraging these have demonstrated significant potential bolstering resilience. Strategies such as soil microbiome engineering, bioaugmentation, integration microbial synergies within pest management frameworks sustainability. Additionally, advancements practices, seed coating, amendments, development consortia, precision agriculture technologies, validated effectiveness scalability interventions farming Despite promising advancements, several challenges hinder widespread adoption solutions. Environmental variability can affect performance, necessitating robust adaptable strains. Scale-up commercialization hurdles, economic constraints, regulatory safety considerations also pose barriers. Furthermore, complex interactions between microbes, plants, their environments require a deeper understanding optimize benefits consistently. Future research should focus integrating cutting-edge technologies genomics, synthetic biology, refine interventions. Collaborative efforts among academia, industry, government bridge gap practical implementation. By addressing harnessing innovations, it possible develop resilient sustainable systems capable thriving water-scarce world.
