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

Vegetation is a key element in the energy, water and carbon balances over the land
surfaces and is strongly impacted by climate change and anthropogenic effects. Remotely …

The time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of
ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought recovery are, however, poorly …

The response of vegetation physiology to drought at large spatial scales is poorly
understood due to a lack of direct observations. Here, we study vegetation drought …

Siberian forests are generally thought to have acted as an important carbon sink over recent
decades, but exposure to severe droughts and fire disturbances may have impacted their …

Climate change-driven increases in drought frequency and severity could compromise forest
ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon sink,–. While the impacts of single droughts on forests …

Plants influence the atmosphere through fluxes of carbon, water and energy, and can
intensify drought through land–atmosphere feedback effects,–. The diversity of plant …

Recent warming in the Arctic, which has been amplified during the winter,–, greatly
enhances microbial decomposition of soil organic matter and subsequent release of carbon …

Intact tropical rainforests have been exposed to severe droughts in recent decades, which
may threaten their integrity, their ability to sequester carbon, and their capacity to provide …

Above‐ground vegetation biomass is one of the major carbon sinks and provides both
provisioning (eg, forestry products) and regulating ecosystem services (by sequestering …
