Global warming alters surface water availability (precipitation minus evapotranspiration, P–E)
and hence freshwater resources. However, the influence of land–atmosphere feedbacks …

Increases in concurrent climate extremes in different parts of the world threaten the ecosystem
and our society. However, spatial patterns of these extremes and their past and future …

Compound extremes such as cooccurring soil drought (low soil moisture) and atmospheric
aridity (high vapor pressure deficit) can be disastrous for natural and societal systems. Soil …

Weather extremes have widespread harmful impacts on ecosystems and human communities
with more deaths and economic losses from flash floods than any other severe weather-…

The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus …

With the elucidation of myriad anabolic and catabolic enzyme-catalyzed cellular pathways
crisscrossing each other, an obvious question arose: how could these networks operate with …

Research on the coupling of soil, vegetation, and hydrological processes is not only a research
hotspot in disciplines such as pedology, ecohydrology and Earth system science but also …

Drought and atmospheric aridity pose large risks to ecosystem services and agricultural
production. However, these factors are seldom assessed together as compound events, …

Water availability plays a critical role in shaping terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in low- and
mid-latitude regions. The sensitivity of vegetation growth to precipitation strongly regulates …

Accurate estimation of the gross primary production (GPP) of terrestrial vegetation is vital for
understanding the global carbon cycle and predicting future climate change. Multiple GPP …
