The response of vegetation water use efficiency (WUE) to soil or atmospheric moisture
conditions has been widely identified in the past decades, however, the relationships …

Water use efficiency (WUE) is an ecological indicator reflecting the link between carbon and
water cycles in terrestrial ecosystems, which is often affected by drought disturbance …

Water-saving technologies have long been seen as an effective method to reduce irrigation
water use and alleviate regional water shortage. However, growing reports of more severe …

The response of terrestrial water storages to dryland vegetation growth remains poorly
understood. Using multiple proxies from satellite observations and model outputs, we show …

Actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is an important element of water circulation, and susceptible
to environmental change. Precise estimation of ETa and identifying its key influence factors …

Optimizing agricultural management practices is imperative for ensuring food security and
building climate-resilient agriculture. The past several decades have witnessed the …

Recently, unprecedented extreme drought has appeared around the world. As the most
direct signal of drought, evapotranspiration deserves a more systematic and comprehensive …

Abstract In South-east Spain the implementation of desalinated seawater for irrigation was
planned as an alternative water supply for farmers. However, most high-volume desalination …

China's rapid population growth has inevitably led to a need for cropland expansion to meet
food security challenges. In arid regions such an expansion is restricted by limited water …

Although agroecosystems have a significant potential to offset carbon dioxide (CO 2), the
amount of CO 2 captured can vary significantly depending on management practices …
