An exponential rise in the atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is among the most
consequential impacts of climate change in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising VPD has negative …

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 …

Abstract Version 5 of the Community Land Model (CLM5) introduces the plant hydraulic
stress (PHS) configuration of vegetation water use, which is described and compared with …

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 …

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 …

Here I present the R package'plantecophys', a toolkit to analyse and model leaf gas
exchange data. Measurements of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration are routinely …

Global vegetation and land‐surface models embody interdisciplinary scientific
understanding of the behaviour of plants and ecosystems, and are indispensable to project …

Land surface models have an increasing scope. Initially designed to capture the feedbacks
between the land and the atmosphere as part of weather and climate prediction, they are …

The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus …
