As a sensitive region, identifying land cover change in drylands is critical to understanding
global environmental change. However, the current findings related to land cover change in …

Understanding the relationship between stand-level tree diversity and productivity has the
potential to inform the science and management of forests. History shows that plant diversity …

Tropical forests modify the conditions they depend on through feedbacks at different spatial
scales. These feedbacks shape the hysteresis (history-dependence) of tropical forests, thus …

As climate change continues to threaten human and natural systems, the search for cost-
effective and practical mitigation solutions is gaining momentum. Reforestation has recently …

The Amazon forest enhances precipitation levels regionally as trees take up water from the
soil and release it back into the atmosphere through transpiration. Therefore, land‐use …

Forestation efforts are accelerating across the globe in the fight against global climate
change, in order to restore biodiversity, and to improve local livelihoods. Yet, so far the non …

Forest restoration is increasingly applied as a climate change mitigation measure. Apart
from sequestering carbon, the large-scale addition of trees on Earth may enhance global …

Despite the increasing relevance of temperature overshoot and the rather ambitious country
pledges on Afforestation/Reforestation globally, the mitigation potential and the Earth system …

The terrestrial water cycle links the soil and atmosphere moisture reservoirs through four
fluxes: precipitation, evaporation, runoff, and atmospheric moisture convergence (net import …

Identifying the variability and predominant factors affecting soil water (SW) is essential in
regions with thick vadose zones and deep-rooted plants. This information is needed to …
