Unravelling the effects of climate change on the soil-plant-atmosphere interactions: A critical review

The soil-plant-atmosphere nexus is vital in terrestrial ecosystems, featuring complex feedback loops that link soil, plant, and atmospheric processes. This review analyzes the significant impacts of climate change on the soil-plant-atmosphere nexus, focusing on soil degradation, plant physiological responses, and atmospheric alterations. This comprehensive review aims to integrate current research, evaluate interdependent feedback mechanisms, and highlight the gaps in understanding the system's resilience under climatic stressors. A systematic literature analysis was done by focusing on 1) soil-plant-atmosphere nexus, 2) climate change impacts on soil dynamics, 3) climate stressors and plant responses, and 4)…
