Sandy soils are widely distributed across the world. Due to the growing global population
and urbanization, these soils are increasingly used to provide food, feed, fiber, energy, and …

Droughts and heatwaves cause agricultural loss, forest mortality, and drinking water scarcity,
especially when they occur simultaneously as combined events. Their predicted increase in …

Year-to-year changes in carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems have an essential role in
determining atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. It remains uncertain to what extent …

Abstract Changes in vegetation structure are expected to influence the redistribution of heat
and moisture; however, how variations in the leaf area index (LAI) affect this global energy …

Land–atmosphere (LA) interactions are a main driver of Earth's surface water and energy
budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation …

Estimating ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) is important to understanding the global water
cycle and to study land‐atmosphere interactions. We developed a physics constrained …

With the increasing use of the term “flash drought” within the scientific community, Otkin et al.
provide a general definition that identifies flash droughts based on their unusually rapid rate …

When soil moisture (SM) content falls within a transitional regime between dry and wet
conditions, it controls evaporation, affecting atmospheric heat and humidity. Accordingly …

The 2018 drought and heatwave over northern Europe were exceptional, with
unprecedented forest fires in Sweden, searing heat in Germany and water restrictions in …

The South Asian summer monsoon is a complex coupled human‐natural system that poses
unique challenges for understanding its evolution alongside increasing anthropogenic …
