Humanity is urbanizing, with vast implications on natural systems. To date, most research urban biodiversity has centered temperate biomes. Conversely, drylands, collectively the largest terrestrial global biome, remain understudied. Here, we synthesize key mechanistic differences of urbanization's impacts across these Irrigation shapes dryland ecology, and can lead to greener, sometimes more biodiverse, landscapes than local wildlands. These green patches in drylands often have a different species composition, including many non-native human-commensal species. Socioeconomic factors - locally globally mediate how biomes shape patterns through effects irrigation, greening, invasive We advocate for low-income cities, implementing biome-specific, scientifically grounded management policies.

Water availability in the subhumid region is highly vulnerable to frequent droughts. scarcity this has become a limiting factor for ecosystem health, human livelihood, and regional economic development. A notable pattern of land cover change United States increasing forest area due afforestation/reforestation woody plant encroachment (WPE). Given distinct hydrological processes runoff generation between forests grasslands, it important evaluate impacts expansion on water resources, especially under future climate conditions. In study, we focused typical watershed – Little River Watershed (LRW). Utilizing SWAT + simulations, projected streamflow dynamics at end 21st century two scenarios (RCP45 RCP85) eleven scenarios. comparison period 2000–2019, during 2080–2099 will increase by 5.1% RCP45 but reduce significantly 30.1% RCP85. Additionally, our simulations revealed linear decline with coverage. If all grasslands LRW were converted into forests, would lead an additional 41% reduction streamflow. Of significant concern Lake Thunderbird, primary reservoir supplying drinking Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Our simulation showed that if replaced Thunderbird experience average 8.6 years 9.4 RCP85 inflow amount lower than extreme drought event 2011/2012. These findings hold crucial implications formulation policies related WPE management regions, which essential ensuring sustainability resources.
