Soil hydrological processes (SHP) support ecosystems, modulate the impact of climate
change on terrestrial systems and control feedback mechanisms between water, energy and …

Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Consequently, these ecosystems …

Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics,, with
profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global …

Identifying the thresholds of drought that, if crossed, suppress vegetation functioning is vital
for accurate quantification of how land ecosystems respond to climate variability and …

Tropical forests face increasing climate risk,, yet our ability to predict their response to
climate change is limited by poor understanding of their resistance to water stress. Although …

Frequent observations of higher mortality in larger trees than in smaller ones during
droughts have sparked an increasing interest in size‐dependent drought‐induced mortality …

Tip** elements are nonlinear subsystems of the Earth system that have the potential to
abruptly shift to another state if environmental change occurs close to a critical threshold …

Tropical forest function is of global significance to climate change responses, and critically
determined by water availability patterns. Groundwater is tightly related to soil water through …

Plant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and
essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water …

Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant
competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and …
