Influence of the spatial distribution of vegetation and soils on the prediction of cumulus convective rainfall
This paper uses published work to demonstrate the link between surface moisture and heat
fluxes and cumulus convective rainfall. The Earth's surface role with respect to the surface …

Root water uptake and transport: using physiological processes in global predictions
Plant water loss, regulated by stomata and driven by atmospheric demand, cannot exceed
the maximum steady-state supply through roots. Just as an electric circuit breaks when …

The carbon cycle and atmospheric carbon dioxide
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from close to 280 parts per million
(ppm) in 1800, at first slowly and then progressively faster to a value of 367 ppm in 1999 …

Terrestrial vegetation and water balance—hydrological evaluation of a dynamic global vegetation model
Earth's vegetation plays a pivotal role in the global water balance. Hence, there is a need to
model dynamic interactions and feedbacks between the terrestrial biosphere and the water …
