- Statement
- Meta-analysis: To review the literature on arid ecology we searched the ISI Web of Science with the following keywords: arid and ecology and terrestrial. We sorted articles by relevance and exported all articles with their abstracts from 1940 up to the end of 2015. Our search returned 9175 articles from this period. We removed articles with abstracts that did not share common words, resulting in 8218 articles and 49 913 shared words.
