Global warming and climate change are driving an alarming increase in the frequency and
intensity of different abiotic stresses, such as droughts, heat waves, cold snaps, and …

Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting
in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). VPD has been identified as an …

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

Tree planting is a prevalent strategy to mitigate urban heat. Tree cooling efficiency (TCE),
defined as the temperature reduction for a 1% tree cover increase, plays an important role in …

Climate change seriously impacts global agriculture, with rising temperatures directly
affecting the yield. Vegetables are an essential part of daily human consumption and thus …

Trees remain sufficiently hydrated during drought by closing stomata and reducing canopy
conductance (G c) in response to variations in atmospheric water demand and soil water …

Plant survival depends on a balance between carbon supply and demand. When carbon
supply becomes limited, plants buffer demand by using stored carbohydrates (sugar and …

Atmospheric dryness, as indicated by vapor pressure deficit (VPD), has a strong influence
on forest greenhouse gas exchange with the atmosphere. In this study, we used long‐term …

Soil moisture (VWC) and atmospheric dryness (vapor pressure deficit, VPD) have an
increasing impact on tree transpiration and productivity with climate change. However, the …

Plant responses to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO2) have been hypothesized
as a key mechanism that may ameliorate the impact of future drought. Yet, despite decades …
