Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

ES 6: 3-5 Replace “It is unequivocal that emissions of the well-mixed greenhouse gases
(GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2 O) from human activities …

Uncertainties surrounding tree carbon allocation to growth are a major limitation to
projections of forest carbon sequestration and response to climate change. The prevalence …

The geography and timing of changes in water availability under climate change are of
considerable societal interest. Characterizing these changes in a robust and meaningful …

A warmer climate increases evaporative demand. However, response to warming depends
on water availability. Existing earth system models represent soil moisture but simplify …

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 …

We conducted a meta-analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes from tree ring chronologies
representing 34 species across 10 biomes to better understand the environmental drivers …
