Regardless of annual rainfall amount changes, daily rainfall events are becoming more
intense but less frequent with anthropogenic warming. Larger rainfall events and longer dry …

We review results from field experiments that simulate drought, an ecologically impactful
global change threat that is predicted to increase in magnitude, extent, duration and …

The leaf economics spectrum, and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions revealed
fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies …

Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has been increasingly used as a proxy for
terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP). Previous work mainly evaluated the relationship …

Terrestrial photosynthesis is the largest and one of the most uncertain fluxes in the global
carbon cycle. We find that near‐infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRV), a remotely sensed …

Drylands make up roughly 40% of the Earth's land surface, and billions of people depend on
services provided by these critically important ecosystems. Despite their relatively sparse …

Covering 40% of the terrestrial surface, dryland ecosystems characteristically have distinct
vegetation structures that are strongly linked to their function. Existing survey approaches …

Abstract The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station
(ECOSTRESS) was launched to the International Space Station on 29 June 2018 by the …

Increasing vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increases atmospheric demand for water. While
increased evapotranspiration (ET) in response to increased atmospheric demand seems …

AmeriFlux scientists were early adopters of a network-enabled approach to ecosystem
science that continues to transform the study of land-atmosphere interactions. In the 20 …
