Previousstudies on the cooling of urban vegetation mainly focused on its transpiration or
shading effect separately, neglecting to explore the combined evapotranspiration-shading …

Ecosystem services interact and can form neural, synergic, and trade-off relationships with
each other. Current studies of ecosystem service relationships have focused more on …

Stomatal conductance schemes that optimize with respect to photosynthetic and hydraulic
functions have been proposed to address biases in land‐surface model (LSM) simulations …

Knowledge of how water stress impacts the carbon and water cycles is a key uncertainty in
terrestrial biosphere models. We tested a new profit maximization model, where …

We provide a novel method to assess the heat mitigation impacts of greenspace though
studying the mechanisms of ecosystems responsible for benefits and connecting them to …

The urban heat island (UHI) has a negative impact on the health of urban residents by
increasing average temperatures. The intensity of the UHI effect is influenced by urban …

Discrete extreme heat events, deluges, and droughts will become more frequent and
disproportionately affect the processes and functions of grassland ecosystems. Here, we …

Mountain regions and the important ecosystem services they provide are considered to be
very vulnerable to the current warming, and recent studies suggest that high-mountain …

Deforestation and climate change are interconnected and represent major environmental
challenges. Here, we explore the capacity of regional-scale restoration of marginal …

Energy and water exchange between the surface and the atmosphere are important drivers
to Earth's climate from local to global scale. In this study, the energy dynamic and the …
