Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

Green water, or plant‐available soil moisture, is a substantial subset of terrestrial fresh
water. Land‐use change (LUC) alters green water dynamics through interactions on the …

The possibility that the Amazon forest system could soon reach a tip** point, inducing
large-scale collapse, has raised global concern,–. For 65 million years, Amazonian forests …

Tropical forests play a critical role in the hydrological cycle and can influence local and
regional precipitation. Previous work has assessed the impacts of tropical deforestation on …

Compound hot–dry events—co-occurring hot and dry extremes—frequently cause damages
to human and natural systems, often exceeding separate impacts from heatwaves and …

Increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration affect continental runoff through radiative and
physiological forcing. However, how climate and land surface changes, and their …

Biophysical effects from deforestation have the potential to amplify carbon losses but are
often neglected in carbon accounting systems. Here we use both Earth system model …

Drylands, comprising land regions characterized by water-limited, sparse vegetation, have
commonly been projected to expand globally under climate warming. Such projections …

Future changes in the position of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ; a narrow band of
heavy precipitation in the tropics) with climate change could affect the livelihood and food …

Regional climate modeling addresses our need to understand and simulate climatic
processes and phenomena unresolved in global models. This paper highlights examples of …
