Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink
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 …

The impacts of rising vapour pressure deficit in natural and managed ecosystems
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 …
