Evaporation from wet canopies (E) can return up to half of incident rainfall back into the
atmosphere and is a major cause of the difference in water use between forests and short …

Resource use efficiency (RUE) is an ecological concept that measures the proportion of
supplied resources, which is converted into new biomass, ie, it relates realized to potential …

It is crucial to determine the factors affecting the carbon use efficiency (CUE) and water use
efficiency (WUE) of vegetation in ecosystems. However, the relationships between climate …

The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and
carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and …

The Budyko framework is widely used to investigate the impacts of climate and landscape
changes on regional hydrology, but quantifying the effect of vegetation change is still a …

Ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) plays an important role in carbon and water cycles.
Currently, the response of WUE to drought disturbance remains controversial. Based on the …

Elucidating the biophysical mechanisms governing the exchange of water vapor between
land and the atmosphere is particularly crucial for addressing water scarcity under climate …

Besides contributing to a broader understanding of ecosystem-hydrology interactions,
ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE) is a key factor operating in an ecosystem's balance …

The response of vegetation water use efficiency (WUE) to soil or atmospheric moisture
conditions has been widely identified in the past decades, however, the relationships …

Carbon and water cycles are intimately coupled in terrestrial ecosystems, and water-use
efficiency (WUE; carbon gain at the expense of unit water loss) is one of the key parameters …
