Plant rooting depth affects ecosystem resilience to environmental stress such as drought.
Deep roots connect deep soil/groundwater to the atmosphere, thus influencing the …

Soils under natural, tropical forests provide essential ecosystem services that have been
shaped by long-term soil–vegetation feedbacks. However, deforestation of tropical forest …

Soil moisture (SM) is essential for sustaining services from Earth's critical zone, a thin-living
skin spanning from the canopy to groundwater. In the Anthropocene epoch, intensive …

Understanding the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the
hydrogeomorpholgical parameters in wetlands ecosystems is vital for designing effective …

China's terrestrial ecosystems have functioned as important carbon sinks. However,

With accumulation of carbon cycle observations and model developments over the past
decades, exploring interannual variation (IAV) of terrestrial carbon cycle offers the …

Abstract Earth System Models (ESMs) are essential tools for understanding and predicting
global change, but they cannot explicitly resolve hillslope‐scale terrain structures that …

For half a century, the process of economic integration of the Amazon has been based on
intensive use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources, which has brought …

Interannual variability in the global land carbon sink is strongly related to variations in
tropical temperature and rainfall. This association suggests an important role for moisture …
