Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant
carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …

Droughts in a warming climate have become more common and more extreme, making
understanding forest responses to water stress increasingly pressing. Analysis of water …

The effect of temperature on stomatal conductance (gs) and corresponding gas exchange
parameters was studied in two tree species with contrasting leaf anatomy and …

Land surface models (LSMs) are a vital tool for understanding, projecting, and predicting the
dynamics of the land surface and its role within the Earth system, under global change …

Stomatal conductance directly modifies plant water relations and photosynthesis. Many
environmental factors affecting the stomatal conductance have been intensively studied but …

Transpiration, the dominant component of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET), directly
connects the water, energy and carbon cycles and is typically restricted by soil and …

The terrestrial water and carbon cycles are coupled through plant regulation of stomatal
closure. Both soil moisture and vapour pressure deficit—the amount of moisture in the air …

Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand
with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However …

Although primarily valued for their suitability for oceanographic applications and soil
moisture estimation, microwave remote sensing observations are also sensitive to plant …

Models of plant water fluxes have evolved from studies focussed on understanding the
detailed structure and functioning of specific components of the soil–plant–atmosphere …
