Water scarcity is a critical limitation for agricultural systems. Two different water management
strategies have evolved in plants: an isohydric strategy and an anisohydric strategy …

We proposed the hydraulic limitation hypothesis (HLH) as a mechanism to explain universal
patterns in tree height, and tree and stand biomass growth: height growth slows down as …

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 …

Northern peatlands provide important global and regional ecosystem services (carbon
storage, water storage, and biodiversity). However, these ecosystems face increases in the …

We conducted a meta-analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes from tree ring chronologies
representing 34 species across 10 biomes to better understand the environmental drivers …

The Ball–Berry stomatal conductance model is commonly used in earth system models to
simulate biotic regulation of evapotranspiration. However, the dependence of stomatal …

Rising atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) associated with climate change affects
boreal forest growth via stomatal closure and soil dryness. However, the relationship …

Global urbanization drastically reshapes the land–atmosphere interactions, biogeochemical
cycles, and ecosystems in the integrated earth system. Urban trees are used extensively for …

Climate models have evolved into Earth system models with representation of the physics,
chemistry, and biology of terrestrial ecosystems. This companion book to Gordon Bonan's …

The effects of climatic factors and vegetation type on evapotranspiration (E) and water use
efficiency (WUE) were analyzed using tower-based eddy-covariance (EC) data for nine …
