This paper shows recent progress in our understanding of climate variability and trends in
the Amazon region, and how these interact with land use change. The review includes an …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

Global vegetation and associated ecosystem services critically depend on soil moisture
availability which has decreased in many regions during the last three decades. While …

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 …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

Global photosynthesis is increasing with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, a
response known as the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE), but the key processes of CFE are not …

Climate change challenges societal functioning, likely requiring considerable adaptation to
cope with future altered weather patterns. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have advanced …

We live on a dynamic Earth shaped by both natural processes and the impacts of humans
on their environment. It is in our collective interest to observe and understand our planet …

Satellite retrievals of information about the Earth's surface are widely used to monitor global
terrestrial photosynthesis and primary production and to examine the ecological impacts of …

Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Consequently, these ecosystems …
