Contents Summary 693 I. Introduction 693 II. Comparison of various definitions and
measurement techniques of minimum conductance 694 III. Cuticular conductance 695 IV …

Anthropogenic activities such as uncontrolled deforestation and increasing greenhouse gas
emissions are responsible for triggering a series of environmental imbalances that affect the …

High air temperatures increase atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and the severity of
drought, threatening forests worldwide. Plants regulate stomata to maximize carbon gain …

Accurate representation of photosynthesis in terrestrial biosphere models (TBM s) is
essential for robust projections of global change. However, current representations vary …

Heatwaves are likely to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change, which may
impair tree function and forest C uptake. However, we have little information regarding the …

Here I present the R package'plantecophys', a toolkit to analyse and model leaf gas
exchange data. Measurements of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration are routinely …

Brazil's leadership in soybean and maize production depends on predictable rainfall in the
Amazon-Cerrado agricultural frontier. Here we assess whether agricultural expansion and …

The strong covariation of temperature and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) in nature limits our
understanding of the direct effects of temperature on leaf gas exchange. Stable isotopes in …

Increasing drought stress under climate change exerting large impacts on vegetation has
aroused growing concern, yet how vegetation greenness and carbon cycle respond to …

Research on the natural driving mechanism and trade-offs and synergies of ecosystem
services (ES) is a prerequisite for the implementation of scientific integrated ecosystem …
