Revisiting the cumulative effects of drought on global gross primary productivity based on new long‐term series data (1982–2018)
Drought has broad and deep impacts on vegetation. Studies on the effects of drought on
vegetation have been conducted over years. Recently, the cumulative effect of drought is …

Evaluation of global terrestrial evapotranspiration using state-of-the-art approaches in remote sensing, machine learning and land surface modeling
Evapotranspiration (ET) is critical in linking global water, carbon and energy cycles.
However, direct measurement of global terrestrial ET is not feasible. Here, we first reviewed …

Global riverine land-to-ocean carbon export constrained by observations and multi-model assessment
Rivers are a key component of the global carbon cycle. They receive vast quantities of
terrestrial carbon, of which a large fraction is ultimately exported to the coastal ocean. Our …
