Drylands represent Earth’s largest land biome, are the dominant source of food for our species, and play a substantial role in regulating key aspects of the planet’s carbon cycle, thus an improved understanding of dryland carbon-water-energy cycles is of vital importance for managing and predicting change in these critical ecosystems. Here we describe multi-scale efforts to better understand drylands in the face of change, using ground-based, remote sensing (drone, airplane, and space-based sensors), and modeling approaches, An improved, quantitative, and predictive understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of extreme events in drylands is critical for anticipating ecosystem transformations and making timely decisions to sustain these systems and the vital services they provide.
