Evapotranspiration (ET)—the distribution and partitioning of which is strongly mediated by
vegetation—is central to the water, energy and carbon cycles. In this Review, we examine …

Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

The ongoing phenological changes in vegetation on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau could
modify land surface and atmospheric processes. In this Review, we summarize these …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

11.21 for hot extremes (HOT EXT.), heavy precipitation (HEAVY PRECIP.), agriculture and …

Riverine ecosystems have adapted to natural discharge variations across seasons.
However, evidence suggesting that climate change has already impacted magnitudes of …

The time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of
ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought recovery are, however, poorly …

Water is the fundamental natural resource that supports life, ecosystems and human society.
Thus studying the water cycle is important for sustainable development. In the context of …

Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …
