Plant responses to rising vapor pressure deficit
Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting
in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). VPD has been identified as an …

Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

CO2 fertilization of terrestrial photosynthesis inferred from site to global scales
Global photosynthesis is increasing with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, a
response known as the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE), but the key processes of CFE are not …

The 2018 European heatwave led to stem dehydration but not to consistent growth reductions in forests
Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest
ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and …

Evapotranspiration frequently increases during droughts
Abstract Changes in evapotranspiration (ET) affect water availability and ecosystem health.
Higher evaporative demand during drought acts to increase ET, but droughts also reduce …
