Natural climate solutions for the United States
Limiting climate warming to< 2° C requires increased mitigation efforts, including land
stewardship, whose potential in the United States is poorly understood. We quantified the …

Forest water-use efficiency: Effects of climate change and management on the coupling of carbon and water processes
Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

CO2 exchange and evapotranspiration across dryland ecosystems of southwestern North America
Global‐scale studies suggest that dryland ecosystems dominate an increasing trend in the
magnitude and interannual variability of the land CO 2 sink. However, such analyses are …

Forest biogeochemistry in response to drought
Trees alter their use and allocation of nutrients in response to drought, and changes in soil
nutrient cycling and trace gas flux (N2O and CH 4) are observed when experimental drought …
