Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally
Dryness stress can limit vegetation growth and is often characterized by low soil moisture
(SM) and high atmospheric water demand (vapor pressure deficit, VPD). However, the …

Warming weakens the night-time barrier to global fire
Night-time provides a critical window for slowing or extinguishing fires owing to the lower
temperature and the lower vapour pressure deficit (VPD). However, fire danger is most often …
