Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting
in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). VPD has been identified as an …

This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

Heatwaves are likely to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change, which may
impair tree function and forest C uptake. However, we have little information regarding the …

Background Microbial inhabitants of soils are important to ecosystem and planetary
functions, yet there are large gaps in our knowledge of their diversity and ecology. The …

On vegetation-covered land surfaces, tree transpiration, compared to soil and canopy
evaporation, is a major process that sends large amounts of water back to the atmosphere …

Eucalyptus species in Australia occur naturally across a wide range of environmental
conditions. In native forests, the leaves are typically thick, tough and long-lived with low …

Accounting for water limitation is key to determining vegetation sensitivity to drought.
Quantifying water limitation effects on evapotranspiration (ET) is challenged by the …

We tested whether leaf area index (L) in eucalypt vegetation could be accurately estimated
from gap fraction measurements made using both fisheye and non-fisheye digital …

Land plants exhibit a degree of homeostasis in leaf water content to protect against damage
to photosynthetic and xylem tissues, and to maintain an efficient allocation of resources. This …
